Congrats!!!  did you shoot that out of a ghillie and on a stool?  If you didn't sit in a ground blind, I am speechless!!  

Congratulations Brother! That's a fine prize for an eight year hunt!

Great bird and pics! Congrats.

I use some camouflage netting with twine tied all over it. I drape it over my head and back and tie the ends to my forearms. This keeps it off my chest and arms so my stRing doesn't catch it.   The goal is to breakup the silohuette of my head.  I sit on a 3 inch foam pad on the ground.   When my Timberghost arrives I'll need even less clearance!!
I don't like using a blind and this has worked well for me this year.

Well done!

thanks for the story..congratz

Ahhh Albatross lifted!!! 8 years is a long time to pine for such a critter. Good on you for sticking it out and getting it done. Congrats and thanks for taking us along    

Way to go!  Very nice story and pictures!  I like the way you "improvise" to make a blind.
