I Knew I Was Going To Hear About It

Well I killed my First Fall Bird on Land Owners Tag.Well since I hadn't got close so I thought I would spend the $13 for regular Tag.

Well this afternoon I was setting around the House.Thought I would go Hunting.I found a Push Call I had never used didn't know how it would work.I get dressed,grabbed my Gun headed down the Drive.There was a Flock in the Drive.

They head for the brush,I thought ok,I'll just cut along the Hill,came to a draw I thought they would come up.The brush was so thick I couldn't hardly get through it.

Got set up.Started calling on this little Push Call,little bit hear a Bird,see a Head but can't get a shot,call it answers.I see them working around behind me.I scoot around the Tree,rake Leaves,call,they answer.Then start seeing them come back,can't get a shot.Rake Leaves.This Hen sticks her Head up I dropped the Hammer on her.She went down.

This has really given me the Confidence in this Gun that I needed.Its a Blast!!!

Now my Wife comes Home.I was cleaning my Gun.She asked you get your Bird? Yes.Got it on our place didn't you? Yes.You just had to buy that Tag.

Thumbs up

Very nice picture-It says a lot about you too.

I like your wood cutting rack. I need to build something like that myself. Looks like the 'vees' keep the wood up off the cross braces enough to keep from cutting them too easily. I will probably make the upper part of the vee above the intersection somewhat shorter. TnTnTn
