Good friends Paul & Tim hunting in Dallas County, Missouri was the first time since about 1985 that we have gotten a bird while hinting together. 6:43 am. 30 mph westerly wind and snow flurries.  This tom gave it up, and it took most of what Tim has to get the job done.  Pretty good for someone who has bad eyesight, and can't sit still or be quiet (he would say the same about me). Good times were had by all!!
