Way to go Mike!  That's great stuff right there - from the hunt, to the story, and finally the bird - perfect!

Fantastic!! In that blind those big white legs won't scare the birds at all.  Great job and congratulations!Nothing like a redemption bird.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
