a Alabama longbeard
« on: March 29, 2012, 12:36:39 PM »
My second trip to mess with what we have termed the "three amigo's".....
hAD A DIFFERENT BIRD ROOSTED IN THE aMIGOS LIVING ROOM....SNUCK INTO THERE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND PITCHED A BLIND AND LEFT THE TRIPOD AND CHAIR. i WAS SET. tHAT MORNING RIGHT AT GOBBELING TIME, i HEARD SOMETHING COMMING IN FROM MY LEFT SIDE, i LOOKED AND IT WAS A RED FOX HEADED FOR THE ROST SITE. i SHOULD HAVE RUN HIM OFF, BUT i TURNED ON THE CAMERA AND BEGAN SHOOTING. The fox trotted by, went straight to a dusting bowl, sniffed it, and sat down right in sight of the roosted birds. I began squeeking at him to run him off, and he went right under my birds. One bird switched limbs and actually came to a limb not 50 yds from me. I mooved the camera on it , and it was the gobbler. He stood on the limb strutting for a while and finally pitched down in the field at 50 yds.. I confirmed the yardage and waited to get a little footage. Then 4 hens joined him, and I decided to see what was about to happen sense he was in range. Like hens do--they slowly began feeding away. I decided its shot time. Boom....MISS  *cry*...CLEAN MISS!!!!  ??? *wha* *cry*
About 2 hours later though, the three amigos entered the scene....quiet and on a mission to go somewhere....now they are the TWO AMIGO'S !!!!
