I love them all day birds. I worked one last year from sun up till 2pm. The last spot was over a mile from where it begun, he won that one though.

Patients pays off . Nice bird.

Cool picture and congrat's! I chased one 2 1/2 miles through the Ozark timbered ridges and hollers last year, eventually he took a ride home with me and it was one of my most cherished hunting memories.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

A huge congrats. I know what you mean by every second of it. I worked one until I ran out of time and never got him. Several hours and no bird but worth the excitement. Great job. reflex264

Here in VT, we can only hunt till 12:00PM, so the time is limited, but I hunt every second until time is up...maybe a minute after sometimes
