Congrats Jeff!!  Great looking Tom!

Warm,windy and scattered showers for me this morning.

Great fun out there,....about 8:00 am, three jakes came in to the yelps and proceded to STOMP the jake decoy. :-D
Couldn't keep from laughing! They finally left after 15 min of stomping,pecking and standing on top of the plastic bird. Came back 5 min later to stomp it again.
Funny watching them leave.......they were really pumped up and looking mucho Tough. :grin:

Congratulations Jeff!

Nice bird you have there. Man was it ever windy today, musta been tough locating birds in the 50 mph winds. I figured the only way that anyone would get one today was on the wing as the wind blew 'em by you! :)  

My hunt starts May 3rd, can't wait.
