Went to nd this year, 5 of us, with one new guy.
We weren't doing well one morning, not many birds, beat up crp, and it was really warm. Saw a few hens. Well we were going to meet back at the trucks, but, I went across the road and my dog chased a bird for about 1/2 a mile up a fence row, gave up and headed back. On the way she pointed and it was a dead rooster, couple days old. Nice long tail feathers, so, I put it in my vest. Then I shot up into the air. I was just out of sight of the other guys, but I could hear them say, "That SOB got a bird!" Well I did, sort of. I ribbed them about being poor shots, having lazy dogs, etc.
Well, I passed the bird to the next guy after telling him the story, we got a good laugh! He did the same as I did and, so on through the am, we handed this pre-dead bird along until we got to the new guy. We were really getting after him let me tell you. Finally at the end of the morning after he kept looking for all of the birds we had "shot" we showed him the bird and asked if he wanted to borrow it, maybe put it in his vest to see what it felt like. We did much better in the afternoon!
