Never on a still day in the sunshine in a arkansas january ricefield have I ever called as loud and hard as I did this weekend, and it was awesome seeing them fat green heads hunting up that sound and sliding in front of the guns.Since we got these birds they have had to be trash talked out, and for some reason love diving on top of the pit.... Im loving it. Too bad we're gonna be froze out for the closing weekend if the weatherman is right.... I might have the bird flu in the morning and just get one mo smack in. travis

Now that you mention it we had to do the same thing a couple weeks ago, let off even to grab your gun and away they went.

Normally I try to be quiet late in the season, but this morning had a group I had to hit hard and not stop with the calling. There we not many birds around, so I couldn't tell if there was a pattern to it.
