First bird of 2020 dead

[catman529]

Hunted past 3 days in Alabama and been on birds every day.

Roosted him last night and got in early this morning and shot him a few seconds after his feet hit the ground. He flew down very early. Sunrise at 6:42 AM shot him at 6:34 AM around 10-12 yards. Got caught in a lightning storm in a cutover on the way back to the truck, had to hunker down in a holler.

no I was gonna wait till he pitched down and see what he did. I was about to reach for my pocket to get a mouth call in case I had to use it. He flew down and caught me off guard and stepped up to like 12 yards and just stood there

Congrats! Almost too quick of a hunt, but still a great feeling to get #1 after a year off.

Your story made me think of this. Congratulations.

Congrats! I'm jealous. First time I looked at this I thought you may have shot him in half strut facing you or something else took out a chunk of tail feathers. But it looks like the middle two feathers just grew in super short? I've never seen one like that.
