    Default Another PA bird down...

    Yesterday morning started emperor me....not a peep on the roost!
    Wasn't til after an hour after light I heard my first bird. Called him in but turned out to be two jakes giggling at the same time.
    After a few mins. they moved on...I waited about a half hour and started calling again.
    In came the two jakes again...behind a good bird! They circled around to my right and I couldn't make the turn. After a few mins....I called some more in my best sexy hen calling.
    He came back and I was already turned and waiting for him
    Took him at 15 yards with a #5 remington hevi-shot!
    10" beard...1 1/8" and 1 1/4" spurs.

    Not sure if this picture will work...won't let me upload into my photos from this phone?
    LIFE isn't about waiting out the storm...rather, its learning how to dance in the rain!

    He came back without the jakes http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos...07988160_n.jpgand I was already turned and waiting for him.
