Thanks man. Public land hunting is definitely a challenge. The birds are very tight lipped most of the time. Luckily that wasn't the case today!Tuco Ramirez wrote:Congrats!!! and on public land even makes it better.

You did better than I did today... 
Took the lever for a walk looking for Hogs. None to be had. Oh well I still enjoyed watching the sun come up.
