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 !!!!

I was looking at the video of the hunt last night, and the Amigos came in fast and quiet---barely got the video on and they were on top of me. Actually -they walked out of view when I took the shot. On reveiwing, I picked the longest bearded bird---the second one of three. Never looked at their feet this time. On reviewing the video, the 3rd bird had curved hooks....not great but at least 1 1/4 would be my guess. Let a good un get by me. The bird I harvested has to be bewteen 11.5 -12" beard, but only had 1 to 1 1/8 spurs at best
