Strut10 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Second year in a row I had to shoot a bird intended for Lil Strut. Set up one tree apart in a Christmas tree field (me uphill of the boy) facing downhill to a nice, wide open grass road where I figured the bird would come from. Wrong. The bird came strutting, spitting and drumming around the hillside.........right through harvestable size Christmas trees...... about 15-20 yards above me. I could get turned on him. Lil could not. 6:15 AM PA bird #1 falls to 2 oz. of #6's from the Super X2 at close range. 19 lbs. 8 1/2" whisker 7/8" & 1" spurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
