guys,
been a while since i was able to post on here... have had computer problems, and could not find my password, finally got my pc back today from the shop.....
now, about the season.... had one of my worst and best seasons ever this year.... called in 5 birds for friends/chaps.... got 3 on film. I personally was snakebit. 5 times I had birds within seeing distance only for them to lock up about 60-70 yards out, it was very very very frustrating to watch this happen time after time this season. I tried everything.... being quiet, calling a little more aggressively, etc etc. One of the birds that had locked up on me ended up dying to a buddy of mine 2 days later. Had an 11" beard, 1.25 and 1.2" spurs, and weighed 19.5 pounds. pretty good bird, spurs were sharp. One thing is for sure, left plenty of 2, 3 year olds and jakes on my places, so hopefully next season will be the cat's meow......
