I couldn't because I had a 2 week trip planned to Wyoming that was to start a couple days after I shot that Jake. The 19th when I was packed and ready to leave the next morning my truck started misfiring and by the time I could get it in and fixed the short two week window I had was shot. The good thing is that I saw a great new red 2016 Silverado on the lot while they were working on my 2006 and it's now in my garage! I know what you mean though because I shot my bird on the 20th down here last year, so they are there for the taking the entire month of May if you have patience. I had the patience, but just flat ran out of time and then didn't have a tag for the final days of May when I was here at home after the truck problem.
