Lord Lowell and Mike B. -
CYL and MOD is the ticket. B&P 28 ga. about perfect in the mid-season cover; step; step; wait. When the birds nerves give out at your pause, it's like a leaf explosion. Yards turned into feet when trying to estimate range when I applied the same principles I learned in judging livestock for weight: the 300-lb. whitetail buck quickly shrunk when we did "guess-and-weigh" exercises.
While I never listened to worms crawling on leaves, I did have a distant relative of mine who was coal miner tell me that if you got far enough down in the mine, sitting quietly after lunch, that you could feel the earth turn on its axis. KBM
