Calls used- hand call
Gun- remington r15 204 with 32 grain v max.
Time and weather - 7:45 am cloudy, cold and wind out of the NE
Started back to this stand and noticed the wind was not in my favor so I started to leave but then decided to swing low and put the field in front of me with a direct crosswind. Started off with a soft 30 second series from a hand call and waited for a minute and repeated this a couple times when I noticed a pretty blonde come out of the cedar thicket and it stopped at about 150 yds. Well another soft series and it broke again and at 110 it froze again. By this time I had dropped the call and the first lip squeak caused the field to come alive at 75 yards right in front of me (I don't know where the heck he came from) he was just there right in the field with just a couple of bushes and trees. Well they both broke and the lead dog was working beneath a little rise downwind and I couldn't see him.
I turned the scope down to 2 power as I looked for the back dog and they were both loving the lip squeaks about that time he lead dog topped the rise and I got back on him and at 25 yds I hit him dead center of the chest and swung to the other dog which was at 125yds and moving fast and slung three at it with no success. All the while looked up and this dog gets up and takes off (can you believe it)and makes it to 90 yds and I put another one in him and dropped him.
Glad I went aftter I got off work.

Good job! Man starting to see alot of the R-15's I have the exact same setup. Literally 'cept mine's .223. 22" bbl .223, ARPR Burris mount, Leupy 3x9x40 with the long extension bipods and a 20 round Mag pul magazine.

I'd better go home and make sure mine is still in the safe!!

Here's mine. I've since put the longer bipod on. Hopefully mine will have a songdog laying beside it if I can ever get out.
