Sorry for the delay guys, we've been hard after them here in GA. Got two more down on video this weekend.

I killed the bird above at 5:15pm on the south FL opening day. I hunted this bird for 6 hours that day as he was with 6 hens and wouldn't leave them. Finally I got him to again answer one of my QB calls about 4:30pm. He had just finished breeding a hen, which we got on video as well, when he eased in for a 52 yard shot and I got him. Talk about a long day after a bird! :)

He was well worth it though, trophy of a lifetime for me.
