Live on the ground.... Breaking news.

All right surrogate hunting teachers... I'm sitting. And managed to call in 2 birds from across a river... Watched em land outta view... 20 mins agao. No responses to a call or two... How long should I sit before repositioning.... Landed prolly 60yards away.

And now I got a fox buddy

The two birds were gobblers?

 

I assume they were gobbling?

 

You're in a blind?

 

That field looks kind of tall, no?

 

Was it a hen and a gobbler?  If so I'd stay until the last dog was hung...............(if I didn't shoot myself first out of boredom)

 

Talk to me Goose......................................

Well I'm out....

I don't know if they were gobblers... At least one was a hen. As it called back to me before they flew across the river.

They landed far to the left I literally saw them fly in and they curved off to the left. I'm assume they walked down the farm road I walked in on. No noise from them and shortly later the fox/yote appeared. (Brown without a bushy tail. I'm assuming yote)

I watched the vote for a bit and crept out of my thicket. No sign of the birds...

I threw one loud call... Waited 10 minutes. No response and packed up.

Next sit I'm going to move back a field closer than I was... Omw out I saw poop, scratches. Also its the direction the birds went... And last weekend there was feathers on that section of the trail. Also the grass is shorter.

Bonus. Omw out I about crapped my pants when a very long and large animal bounded along the tree line near the river. Then halfway up a tree and stuck its teddy bear face out the side to watch me..... I was so struck by seeing my first fisher in the wild I opened every pocket but the one with my camera.. By the time I had it out he was gone...

He was big... Tail seemed almost as bushy as his body. And just as long as his body. I'd say total length near 4 foot ish. Who knew a fisher near the barge canal.

What a great morning.... Saw my first legit birds. Called them in to boot. Had a vote show for an hour then the fisher...
