Default Hoosier Bird
Birds were very active this morning, one of the most exciting hunts I have been on. I had set up before daylight on a field edge where I have been seeing birds. Put out one Jake decoy and very luckily ended up in the perfect spot. 1 bird to my right at 75 yards or so carrying on and another across the field in the tree line about 150 yards with I don't know how many others gobbling. Not long after daylight there were 3 Toms, 3 Jakes, and 6 hens out in the field. The Toms were trying to figure out who was boss and not gobbling much after they hit the ground but the hens were talking and that got several other birds gobbling. Next thing I know I have birds coming from the North and the South at the same time. It wasn't long before this guy decided to check out the Jake decoy. Long shot at some 15 yards but the GHE was up to the task with 1 1/8 oz of #5's from Morris of RST fame. He was so close I used the Mod barrel. When he hit the ground and commenced to flapping things really got crazy. Every bird in the field joined in, the more I cut and carried on the more excited they became. Pretty darned enjoyable morning. Kept the thighs and drumsticks off this one to make some soup, yummy.

Put that one down in your journal as "Perfection." Refer to it when times are not as wonderful. Congratulations, Randy. What do you suppose your heart rate was during all this?

Don't know Garry but it sure was exciting. I'll remember that hunt a long time, as you know they only come around like that so often.
