I went on to work but was scheduled off at noon for a 1430 dentist appt. Left work at 12, home at 1233, saw he was still in the top pasture!! Jumped in camo and boots, loaded the shotgun and set to hiking!! Left the house at 1245...(can't hunt past 1300). Made a loop so a wooded hill blocked my stealthy approach. Got to the corner of the pasture and sat against an oak. Called a few times with a mouth call, and with 2 minutes of shooting time left, kilt him at 30 paces!! Ate half the breast for supper!!!
