Well Team Saturday was so much better than Friday with the all day rain and no birds. Got in position Saturday morning hunting a new section of a friends property I'll put some pictures up later. About 6:45 the silence was broken by 2 Toms seeing who could out gobble the other. I was on the wrong side of the property so I hustled over and got within 60 to 70 yards to the closest bird. We talk back and forth for 20 minutes before he came off the roost in front of me. I got ready and shut up waiting for him to pop his head over a little rise in front of me. 15 minutes later I heard him moving up the hill and to the left then he went silent then a Jake flew down and went to the right of me about 60 yards away. He left and then I headed to the field where they go gather hens one was still hammering the 2nd. bird I heard so I worked my way to the field were I could see him. It was the monster I missed Monday and I was blown away with just how big he really was a truly huge bird. He was moving left in the field so I dropped back and moved left with him and got about 60 yards or more in front of him and settled in behind a root ball. I looked to the left and 2 Jakes were 100 yards out and heading right, once they got in the tall grass I raised up to see the big boy who stopped gobbling. The Jakes did an about face and headed the opposite direction. I though I had spooked them until I saw a dog in the field who had went after the big Tom in the field! And guys I'll stop here because that was my last opportunity for the weekend. I hunted from dawn to dusk Saturday and 2 hours before church this morning then till dusk this evening. I'm sorry guys but after 14 days of hunting my 2 misses cost us a good bird not to mention a dog on a bird of a life time. My Buddy Kent came to hunt with me later that afternoon and shot the first bird that came off the roost in front of me. 22lbs. 11" Beard and 1 1/2 Spurs I was happy for him he had given up because of so many people messing up his hunts in public hunting areas. He offered to let me submit this bird as mine but I said Kent that's not my bird and I won't cheat other teams by doing so. He understood but said do it for Matt but I said Matt would not want me to do that. All my friends got birds some I helped get them and I am truly happy for them all. Well Team once again I sorry I did not help our score but with GOD as my witness I gave it my best effort.
