Default RE: Back from PA

I agree with YB,great trip for my first out of state hunt,the area where we hunted and traveled through were beautiful. I'm not quite ready to move yet but PA would be on my short list if I were. Now about the hunt,it's nice when you look over tomorrows hunt area after a ten hr. drive to see deer calmly standing in the field and get the feeling if I were a turkey this is the place I'd be. The birds were silent,but we knew they should to be there.Next morning, Pat on my right was doing his usual great job of trying to work the birds and I almost blew it,while on my knees trying to get a pic of YB snoring on my left,I was about to snap the shot when he opened his eyes so I casually turned the camera toward the field and took a pic without looking. Pat said don't move birds in the field.with him as my eyes I hit the deck and got in positon when they looked away. I only saw the last hen as the two hens and redhead dropped in a dip in the field. When I next saw that colorfull head it was only about 14yds away after a few more steps I had the shot and took it,one PA bird down. 3-3 1/2 in brd,1/2 -3/4 spurs,wt.?? (trophy to me,didn't score in NC) After zooming in the digital pic the birds were in it (grainy but there) so I had shot him twice. YB, Pat and Paul, I had a great time hope we can do it again THANKS. Rocky
