    My daughter came up from California and wanted to go out with me. We sat up, called for an hour or so and didn't hear anything. At the end of the property im on we heard kids screaming, dogs, lawn mowers and some guy yelling for some one. I told her lets move farther down field. Once we sat back up, not ten minutes later, one fires off right behind us, he came within 20 feet, never payed any attention to the decoys but was behind a tree, no shot. Had I stayed there, dead bird. Try again today before she goes home tomorrow, but pretty nasty out.
