It felt good, real good !!!

Post by spider316 »

So I had today off, really haven't had a chance to hunt by myself this year. Although there really isn't anything much better than watching your Children put the knuckle punch to some Turkeys, I mean being criticized about the calling and wondering why I'm breathing weird when the birds are coming in is pretty enjoyable :thumbleft: . So I wake-up at 0200 and make my coffee and I'm out the door at 0230, 1 1/2 hr drive to NY. I enjoy just sitting and listening to my surroundings wake-up in the Spring, just something super special about it. So it starts to get light and birds are gobbling about 200 yards away on a neighbor's property, well at 0450 I heard a 4 wheeler drive in and now the birds go quiet. I thinking hopefully he bails out and leaves and I'm gonna give me some time and gently call em with some assembly calls. All of a sudden literally 50 yards away 2 birds pound off and scare me BAD :shock: ! So I debate tree calling or just let em fly down and work em. Well at that moment they fly down over a slight rise and out of sight, made up my mind for me ! It was a quick hunt with just a real easy fly down, a simple assembly and a click of the safety. Pretty sure they were the 2 survivors of the Foxtrot wipeout from a week ago. BTW, when the kids woke up and realized Dad went without em, the Wife told me she almost had to pull out the Mommy stick and do a little "attitude adjustment" :slap: !!!
