"Second Chances"

Postby gator » Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:20 am

Many reading this will remember the bird I was hunting last year. Many times over the first half of the season, I had the bird with in questionable shooting range or circumstances, never getting the bird to give me a decent shot. At some point around the middle of the year, he just disappeared. It seemed strange to me a bird that would gobble hundreds of times just stop all of a sudden. It seemed strange until I found the boot prints. CLICK HERE FOR STORY AND PHOTOS

Didn't really know where that story was going at first, but now it's my favorite by far.

NICE!

You mentioned a peacock that had been accepted into the flock, I had one a couple years ago on my place that did the same thing. I even posted about it on here. Not sure what happened to her, haven't seen her in the past 2 seasons... boy, she sure could make a tom gobble with that squawl.
