Not while hunting but, a few years ago I was fishing a big pond from the bank. There was a place where water entered the pond from a spring up hill. It was grown up with willows and briars, so I had never fished there. I could cast to it but for some reason I decided to fight my way through it...

I didn't know what you were talking about till I googled it, no wander she had an alleged affair.

Sorry man, it's always tough.

Richard Flaherty, Audi Murphy. My dad served with Murphy in the 3rd army. Sometimes I think the short guys need to prove something. One of the best quail hunters I ever met was about 5'5''. He could keep up and outshoot anyone.

A good friend is someone who you've been friends with a long time. Someone who you trust and enjoy being around. Someone you've might have had a few brews with or just a childhood friend you've kept in touch with. But a guy you've hunted with hundreds of times and shared many, many campfires...

Most of the time a jake will be higher pitched, but I've been fooled both ways. If I have two birds gobbling, I'm going after the lower pitched one.

That must be the one that got away from us year before last! hunted all public for 4 days saw two and killed one. :LOL:
