2 pieces of advise
1. DO NOT name the bird. That is a sure fire bad luck charm. Some of the best hunters on this board have named birds only to be foiled again and again season after season. then we all feel kind of sad when the nemisis is finally taken. Especially by someone else
2. Don't give up. You don't HAVE to go back to PA. Sleep in the car, eat twigs and bark, or whatever you have to do. Just don't give up.
