I was at my blind yesterday morning at 5:30 am down by Freeburg Mn. Weather was mild,cloudy with little wind.I heard 3 differnt birds sound off. 2 were in front of me across the field and one was down the valley off to my left. I called to him a couple of times but he wasn't moving yet. At 6:15 I called again and he was closer now. I waited another 10 minutes and was laying on my side really still. My blind was open to the back but I have a small hill to lay my head on.I didn't want to get busted so I slowly got my push call and did 2 small soft purrs.I'm looking to my left and all of a sudden he was less than 2 feet away from my face on the other side of my blind.He must have just seen my decoys in the field when he went into full strut with his wing tips violently scrapping the dry leaves. Also making some other vocal noises that I've never heard. Down he went. So heart pounding exciting DrJ..

Way to fight the weather to fill a tag! Sure makes for ugly photos though don't it? Good job, nice bird.

[123fish]

Thanks Don. We had to take the hose to him and wash all the sand off to even get him to look that good.

[bigbucks]

Cool pics, good job. If you ever asked to weigh me I think I'd decline, looks painful...
