I forgot to post my 2nd time out with pretty boy painted red. This time, the tom came walking right in, saw pretty boy, spurred him, knocked him off of his stake, and proceeded to stand over him. That was enough, I had to defend my new painted fella; I drilled him broadside right where his wing is attached to his body with a 20 yd shot and a Spitfire Gobbler getter. I just received my new GT500 in the mail the previous afternoon, mounted a Limb Driver on it, sighted it in, and within hours killed this bird a little after 6 AM.

I do most of my hunting in timber for birds; on big oak flats. These two birds were killed 2 weeks apart and only feet away from each other. I have taken over 20 birds from this same flat over the last 15 years.
