			There are many ways to define "pretty," and that looks like an awfully pretty gun and (very dead) bird.

			I have had some memorable hunts this season, but no birds to show for it.

			So you shot a "pre-washed bird"?  Nice going Scott.  Now do your second bird with a 20.

			Hunted all morning in a very cold rain and wind with my son, trying to get his first bird. Had birds all around us, but no gobbling and no response to my calling. There were 4 jakes and 3 longbeards within 200 yds of us, but couldnt pull them in. A coyote running thru the field didnt spook them off either.
