Post by: Hootowl on April 30, 2012, 01:41:15 PM
I went in Earlier today, do get some decoy's set up and Had to put up my Blind as they were Calling for 100% chance of Rain, It starting Rain at First light. But as I was walking in This Morning I Bumped 2 Birds Off the Roost, and they Scared the Crap out of me, They are never Up front of the woods, My Hunt was over before it even Got started, I went ahead and set everything up Hen Decoy and a Strutter, and hunted till 12:30pm Not 1 gobble, Not the first sight of any Birds, I learned a Important lesson today, I should of stuck with the Plan As I was driving up, I talked myself into walking through the woods, it would be shorter, instead of walking the field edge, Had I done the field I would of Had these Birds Pitch down, Iam sure. Dam I could of Kicked Myself in Arse......

That's what it's about friend. Trial and error. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Trust your instincts.
