RE: You cant get any closer and not......misfortune !!

Dam drop, so so close. how much season do you have left??

RE: You cant get any closer and not......misfortune !!

Hang in there man, and the best of luck to you ;)I really hope it plays out for you. I wanna see this old geezer in some pics :D

RE: You cant get any closer and not......misfortune !!

Man, that's tough. All part of it though if you need the footage. What do you think spooked him, the decoy? If so, I'll be you'll leave that thing in the truck next time.;)

Good luck.

RE: You cant get any closer and not......misfortune !!

Man,that does suck.Hopefully it work out next time.

RE: You cant get any closer and not......misfortune !!

Thats a tough break! Stick with it and it will all come together. Very few things in the woods can push you to your limits like a mature tom. Good luck.

You know what really erks me, makes it worse...

my buddy has been hunting for a LONG time. Hes killed HUGE bucks, does it every year...Always sticks a mature buck, always bags a big tom...

Well, after the fact and specifically on the ride home..He keeps saying,"dude that was a HUGE tom..Did you see that beard hitting the ground....I swear he had a double beard. Man, he was a monster..If you got him that would have been the mother fathering chit....i cant believe he keeps gettin away dude"

I almost pushed him out of the car..

I don't care who you are, that is funny. LOL

Yea ? Ok..Well I was going to invite you for a deerhunt and put you in a great stand over a good buckstrail..Now, I'll still invite you, but Il'l hang a "special" stand, just for you....roughly 80yards from the trail...

Then, after the hunt....I'll say..man, that was a monster...I saw him from my stand, too. If you stuck him, youd be in the P&Y buck club !! You would have had a great mount hanging from your wall !!

Hey now, that's not fair. LOL. Besides I thought the funniest part of the story was how you said you were going to push him out of the car. I got this mental picture of a guy laughing and carrying on, then the next thing you know he's rolling down the side of Rt. 1 in Princeton wondering what happened.

BTW, did you see that NJ drivers were voted the dumbest in the US?[8D]

I mean, we always have my primos wet box and my buddys slate, they are fail safes...

What kind of decoy was this? A hen, jake or tom?

RE: You cant get any closer and not......misfortune !!

Hmmm. They're definitely starting to turn off where I hunt. I went out this morning hunting and this evening trying to get one to talk and I heard nothing both times. The good thing about this time of year is that the toms are not closely connected to where they've been hanging out all spring anymore. They're roaming around in search of that one last hen that needs a little lovin' so if you've done your homework and know your birds you may have a surprise in store for you, in that you may very well see another tom that wasn't there previously. Good luck! Simp

IF it all goes as PLANNED...We should have him on the ground in the first half hour of light.

That's always the trick isn't it? Too bad the birds and bucks don't read the script.;) This time of year is definitely when it pays to have a good pair of walking boots. The guys who have scouted out the birds and sit and wait for them usually have some long hours ahead of them since they are usually quiet now and off their normal patterns.

Hopefully you guys can strike on up or get that big dog after he pitches down off the roost. I'd like to see you have that last laugh.

Good luck.

Damn![:@] How many more days do you have left? Just tomorrow?
