Title: Missouri Bird
Post by: Mark Rainbolt on April 19, 2011, 11:32:58 AM

Got this one at 6:25 am opening morning. He scared this old man he was 50 yards roosted from me of course i did not know he was there LOL. He flew down 5 yards from my decoys came to them in strut knocked over my struter and stuck his head up and then he DIED!!! Fastest hunt I have ever had did not get to call  *aah* *aah* *aah*. 22 pounds 10 inch beard, and broken spurs. But that is what the Good Lord gave me and I took it like I take all the Blessing's he gives me in Life. Thanks for looking.
          God Bless,
                    Mark

They are all trophys.  Congrats.  Some of the best hunts are when you never have to call.
