Called in a big longbeard yesterday afternoon. He was traveling with two jakes which came in 1st. I was sizing up the jakes with thoughts of the frying pan when I caught the gobbler out of the corner of my eye.

Problem was It was hot so I had my facemask in my pocket. When I turned to look at the big boy, I mooned him with my face.

Naturally he ran, but I did get my gun up and on him and he was running across my field of fire. I just couldn't get on him well enough to be sure of a kill.

Since I didn't shoot at him, maybe he'll dumb off again before the season ends. They came in without gobbling, but I had my hearing aids turned up to 5, and heard the gobbler clucks coming through the woods.

Oh well, today's another day!...Geo
