Well guys, that dows it for me this year. It is the last day, and there is no way I am gonna make it out. It has been fun guys and I just screwed up when I missed that bird, but there is always next year. Good luck, I will keep checking in you guys.
Thanks a bunch,
Brent

Checking in.
Still hard at it. I've had numerous birds just out of shotgun range. Some come in, some strut by. Tons of action but no shots. I swear if I'd leave my damn shotgun at home and take my bow I'd have one down.
This morning I watched one in a tree up until 6:30 when he finally flew down. He gobbled to my very subtle calls and I thought he'd lock wing into me, he dropped out of the tree, met up with some hens and away he went.
I've been within 60 yards of several lonbeards, I needed a few more yards. Damn flea infested rats with wings. [8D]

Another bird down guys, this one is a little better...20lbs., 10 3/4 inch beard and 1 inch spurs...Killed this morning at 7:40, he gobbled a lot right around the point from me, didnt think he was going to come around finally he did... Went over to where he was and he had crawled up under a tree top, went to pull him out and pulled his tail feathers out, like to never have got him out...Oh well, all in all a great morning...
