Stalked and called to this bird for over an hour yesterday till I lost sight of him and then his hens flew up 30 mins before sunset.
Today I was working on some videos that I'm uploading and saw him again in the same field. Started with 2 hens then eventually I realized it was 4 hens and a jake and the tom.
Well it took two hours this time before I finally had an open 40 yard shot. He was getting pissed off at the jake and they started fighting. I had to be careful of which red head to shoot because I could only see all the birds from the neck up. The one with the bigger head became obvious when a full fan went up behind him. I settled in the sight and waited for him to put his head all the way up and let him have it. That jake is probably gonna be a mean bird next spring.
3 year old with one spur broke down to a nub.
Have to run to the store to get new batteries for my scale. Not real heavy but will see.
1 tag left and maybe just maybe I can find one that will answer my call.
