j76 come on now.. RELAX! the waiting game can surely be the hardest part of the hunt. But it is something that is very much needed. So set back and relax. Actually I shoot my birds most of the time near water. A decent opening for them to strut in is all they need. Check for sigh around any area like that and sooner or later you will hit there hide out.. But, just relax and take a deep breath for a little bit. Then think the situation over. Then get right back in there a get a bird..

j76 I hope you do not get offended as I am only messing with you. No harm intended.. All any of us really want is for each of us to enjoy the hunt and share thier stories with us..

Congrats DTC on showing how to get it done! Nice bird by the way too! Congrats as well on playing the waiting game for them to show themselves.. Good story as well.
