yesterday by 7:30 i was soaked to the bone. heard two birds but they only gobbled once. this morning the rain was still coming down. i usually kill a bird every year in the rain so i decided to go. i had all intentions of setting up in the corner of a hay field with decoys and do some light calling under my Buckwing umbrella. when i stepped out of my jeep and heards birds gobbling plans changed. i took this bird at 30yds. Perfections New Trifecta is working great this season
10.5" beard
both spurs 1 3/16"
23#

Good things come to those who wait

Congrats on the rainy day bird.

Extended forcasts for my IL trip are looking like I may be after some rainy day birds myself.
