got him last night went up around pawnee with my brother, seen 8 birds out on a big meadow that saw us but never busted..
We went down to the area they roosted and set down for about 2 hours, it was getting dark and they hadn't shown up yet so I hand motioned to my brother I was goin to go north and check another pasture and if i seen them I'd hoot at him to come that way.. Well there was a creek that was rushing water and I hooted and he never heard me.. so being as late as it was I peeked over the creek and there were 2 longbeards chasing 3 jakes around 65 yards away..
I got to a bend in the creek and as luck would have it those longbeards chased the jakes right to me.. I had the gun up when they came around the corner and made the easy 25 yard shot on the biggest bird of the bunch..
My brother was pretty ticked about not getting a bird, but hey, he shoulda came with me..
It was a really crappy season for me, called in a ton of jakes which is promising for next season.. The weather was horrible as everyone knows.. I did get to hunt some new ground this year up at Kaw WMA.. If you dont mind walking from popular areas its a good spot..
now a month till im checkin them holes for flatties.. if it will ever quit raining..
