Always different, open terrain in spinning and shooting, I wing shoot a lot and he’s done in that situation. I have also slowly switched to left handed and shot a couple, with slow movements and decent cover it’s not a problem.  Poor cover and limited shooting windows let em walk, though I almost never call the same bird in twice the same day!

Don’t move and hope he walks past you

Pull the pin, lob it over you shoulder and then get tight to the tree.

It all depends. If I can get my bead on him I'll shoot. But if that means I might appok him I'll sit tight and see if he works to a better position. If he tries to circles me I'll kill him with my off hand etc... Just have to play it by ear.
