EARLY BIRD WITH 1883 E
Fooled with this bird 5 hours and thirty minutes Saturday, opening day. Three times to 60 yards but no closer, last time at 11:45 (ends at 12 p.m.). Six hens with him. Left him in the field strutting. No Sunday hunting so I had a whole day to devise a plan for Monday. Fifteen minutes after light (6:30) I had him on a string. Pulled trigger at 33 steps as he was coming fast.
