Congrats Scotty! - You must know the right areas to hunt! Eight birds called in without calling in other hunters - now that's impressive!

A good, clean head shot will do that every time. Nice shooting.:cool:

Congrats Scotty, those first two must have just been moving too slow, next time holler "PULL" before you shoot.

Harold,
I have missed birds before but not like the 2 i missed that day, both birds i got with in 10 yds with not a thing in the way. wide open shots. :cuss: needless to say , i was beside my self. i said more than "pull". See you soon .
