Thanks again for going with me. It's never a dull moment! As mentioned it was a beautiful morning all the way around. I dropped Geo off, hid the truck and walked for what seemed like a mile. I set up in the grey light and hunkered down. The bullfrogs and swamp birds started singing behind me. I called once on a slate and once on a glass pot call since I had put out two hen decoys. At 630am I see a big red head pop up at 25 yards where he had apparently just landed. He walked in beard swinging. The big tom slowed down, mounted one of my decoys and had his way with her. He had that look in his eye that all was right in the world when he finally lifted his head back up. I swear he smiled. That's when I dropped him with a very fine old fox I received from this very group. I was absolutely tickled! Not wanting to mess Geo's morning up so early I hung around in the woods watching the wild quail wake up and then I hiked my so called mile back 20lbs heavier. I napped until it was time to meet up again.
Thank you again for going with me.

Good job, Keith. Nice bird.

Good job for you too, Geo, being patient and not trying a shot you weren't certain of. You'd have felt a lot worse had you tried a shot and wounded, then lost him.

No guns involved here, but after my last turkey hunt for the year on Tuesday, I began answering the numerous bobwhite quail whistling around me. I managed to call a number of them up into the thicket I was set up in. I thought the pics below might entertain those of us who believe that gentleman Bob has disappeared forever. See below for hope!:






...Geo

photo credit: these are 67galaxie's phone pix, but I had the same thing going on in my thicket. Bet they disappear by Fall.

Geo, while the turkeys seem to be on the decline around these parts I was encouraged to hear the wild quail whistling everywhere I went yesterday listening for turkeys. It was amazing. I don't recall hearing that many quail whistling in years. Gil
