Dizzy gets his birdâ€¦

Iâ€™ve seen the Dr. and got some medication but can still feel the effects of the infection. Anywayâ€¦ I was feeling pretty crummy and didnâ€™t even think I would be able to hunt but got up early enough and decided that I would be okay just going somewhere that I didnâ€™t have to walk far and would be easy to get in and out of. This would be the first hunt by myself this season and the first time Iâ€™ve hunted a Saturday by myself in YEARS. Amy and I had seen a gobbler using a field several times this season and I decided that since it was easy to get to I would just go there, put out a couple dekes, build a â€œnestâ€ _________________ "You have to pay for every bird you kill and the coin you use to pay for them is time." - Tom Kelly

Sorry to hear about the inner ear ordeal, been wondering where you were. On another note, did you get that photo I emailed you? I didn't know whether you could put that on my post or not. Keep gettin' better, there's plenty of gobblin' left. barry _________________ "Do not let what you can not do interfere with what you can do." - John Wooden

I'm going to pretty much hunt the rest of the season and try to get Robbie (my brother) a bird and maybe get Amy on another one. Had a friend in hunting Mon-Wed and he missed an opportunity at one at 25 yards when the gobbler boogered and then missed a shot at one 30 minutes later... too far... _________________ "You have to pay for every bird you kill and the coin you use to pay for them is time." - Tom Kelly

I believe I shot off the same tail feather on my bird this year. Congrats Tom Last edited by TK582 on Wed May 03, 2006 5:00 pm, edited 1 time in total.

His fan was not shot by me but someone else earlier in the season I guess. I noticed it as soon as he came into the field and strutted. It's definately from a pellet going through, what I beleive, was a closed fan... probably shot at running I suspect... _________________ "You have to pay for every bird you kill and the coin you use to pay for them is time." - Tom Kelly
