well i went and set up on the edge of a big field this afternoon to do a little blind calling and i sat there for about 1 hour and 15mins. nothing. so i figured i would go to the other side of the property and try the gasline. well i walked to the edge of the field a looked around and didnt see anything so i take off down the edge of the field. about half way across a bird came out from under a cedar tree and takes off running. it was a longbeard! i made a huge loop to get on the other side of him and tried calling him up. well right before dark i watched him fly up to roost about 70yds away from me. i waited till pitch black dark to get my decoys and walk way around so he wouldnt see me. it was an exciting afternoon either way!!!!
Hate to hear you spooked him but at least it was exciting! Get back in there get him :you_rock:
Roosted might be Roasted come tomorrow morning. :z-guntootsmiley:

Most people call in sick and I applaude you but I would definitely call in WELL. When asked what well meant I would say "Well I ain't comin"
