I almost had the perfect hunt... I had this bird come out at 25 yards. The problem was the hen that was 15 feet behind me! She started to putt but my buddy gave a quick, soft yelp and she just started to walk away. He knew something wasn't right but kept strutting as he moved away. I put the bead on his head and dropped him at 40. It ended great but almost ended in disaster thanks to a hen ha-ha. 11 1/2" beard and sharp 1 1/4" spurs.

Colossians 3:12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Great bird! Those hens always seem to try to screw you. Glad it all worked out for you.
