The birds in my area of Missouri were tough this yr. I got a total of three birds to work this yr when normally I'll work at least that many in a week. I missed one, killed one and stuck with one for the entire day the last day of the season. I had him in range three times but couldn't get him in a spot where I could get a shot. Great way to spend the last day though. Need to pay more attention to my setups.
Thanks for the update, its Hunting! ups and downs we all go thru. Hope you still want to stick around and be part of the team next year. See you're in the zone for the cicada hatch, that really helped flocks here a few years ago.
