--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well let me tell you about my hunt seeing i havent told ya' ll much about the ones i have been on.......i get out there, didnt want to disturb the birds roosting , so i snuck in there without a light or a compass, had both , but they were left alone...well i figure i drifted south because i was not reconizing a thing, so i said screw it and i found an open area and set up.....well the next you know i hear a gobble...too far off......then i hear crunch crunch crunch.......i look, it' s a hunter, so i whistle, he stops, i heard him take a couple of steps and then nothing , so i wait a few minutes and i look, he' s still there, so i finally asked him if he was going to stand there all day , he said he couldnt see me, well duh...camoflauge is named that for a reason..lol....anyway , he was lost , had no compass so i pointed him in the right direction.....as soon as i cant see him any longer i hear , crunch , crunch crunch, it' s another hunter well i whistle again , he stopped and then he ran off , yes ran......... then i hear him blowing like a deer, i burst out laughing....couldnt help it, i was sooooo p.o.ed, but still....the laughter echoed.....now i can seehim doing that if he spooked somehting, but i whistled , he knew it was me, wouldnt you think just walking away quietly would of worked better, instead of scaring the hell out of everything..........anyway, i was about over it, it was 12:08, then i hear crunch, crunch, scratch, crunch, i see feathers it' s a hen , then i see another one , but it' s bigger than a hen, but i kept telling myself it' s a hen so i wouldnt shake too much, well i couldnt lie to myself anymore, i was beard, about an inch, then another about 5-6 inches.......they were just a few feet from me, so i waited, they circled behind me, when he got in front me, i shot,he jumped up and flew about 10 yards away , i have another shot, wouldnt you know it, i thought i was using a semi, not my pump, i kept pulling the trigger but nothing happened, so i said screw it again and i put another one in the chamber, about that time i see red right in front of me and it' s not the jake, it' s a LONGBEARD he just peaked around the palmetto to see what was happening with the jake i just shot at, i had my gun was already up and ready , all i had to do was make sure my sight was on him, it was boom, took him out! ! !.....the jake was about 10 yards, too close , and he was about 20 ...i knew there was another bird there , but i thought it was a smaller jake, wrong.....ended having 2 hunters walk up on me, decided to stick it out, at 12:20 , i got him, the stats are:14.5 lbs.
9 3/16 beard
1 1/8 spur
1 1/16 spur

Natty Bumpo , anytime you need her she' ll help you out:)...everytime i bring a harvest home , i drag it around the yard for her and i let her find it , keeps her on her toes:Di love that damn dog :):D[:-]
