Title: Close but fell short......
Post by: chatterbox on May 01, 2011, 12:57:58 PM
Called in 3 nice longbeards this morning for the 2 youth hunters I took out. I took out Harrison and a buddy and his little girl
Unfortunately, there was a hen with one of toms and he just stood out there and strutted, and the other two didn't like the looks of something and buggered out. They all hung up at about 60 yards, and would'nt budge. They circled around but would not commit, no matter what I threw at them.
It was still an exciting hunt, and the kiddos had a blast, and neither one can wait to get after those longbeards again!

It is a blast.  I have to make sure I'm not leaning against the kid if we're on the same tree because I worry that my intense shaking will shake them up even worse. I love it!
