The rain let up once so I took a pick of my decoys......

Then I packed up and the next day I went to a new place to hunt closer to home and I walked about a mile and a half to where I was going to hunt. When I got there a half grown bull new to the place decided he wanted to chase me and I busted him on the nose with a big stick....he ran off and I kept walking.....I heard something......so I looked behind me.
Here he came running straight at me :sad3:
I managed to fend him off for good this time and continued to my spot. It was now about 9:30am...
When I got there I peeked over the rise of a hill and saw a Hen staggering in one spot and flaring her feathers funny....then she would lay down and stand right back up and do it again.....I had not seen this in so long,and I was so tired from the walking without sitting down I yelped 3 times to see what she would do... :doh2: GOBBBLLE! She was waiting to be bred by a Tom that was no farther than 30 yds. over the rise and he gobbled so loud I thought my teeth would fall out!
I slowly sat down against a tree where they could not see me for the rise in the hill....About half way down my bum hip decided it had had enough after the earlier bull chase and I went down hard right on an empty Pop bottle I left in my game pouch from the day before....... :laf: CRUNCH!!
I could have shot him running away but I chose to laugh instead...I will return here Monday and endure the long walk again Bringing a new present for the bull and I will only use one hen decoy. I will call once or twice and then just sit the whole time and wait for him and see what happens...... :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: I wonder what will happen next. :laf:
:laf: Hope it works out better next Al!
Too much rain today even for me......I will try again tomorrow.
