Give us a update.... what happened to the bird at 100yrds?

Ok, so here's what happen, didn't see anything my dad left around 12, then 10min after he walked off, I couldn't find my truck keys. So I thought no problem, I'll call him and see if he's still close by, and can hang around until I get back to the truck to verify I can get it unlocked....Problem is, Phone is dead!

So I walk, no run out to the parking spot where I see him open the gate about 300 yards away, now I'm running, yelling and waving my arms trying to get his attention, and he leaves!

Crap, I just know my keys are going to be in the truck, guess what...they are on the dash in passenger side!!! I think, hey I'll walk to the neighbors house use the phone and get my dad to come back. I get to the nieghbors place knock on the door, no-one home! A mid-sized dog comes up to me (looks like a nice dog) I reach out and say nice pup...when I get nipped by the **** thing! The day is getting worse!

I get back to my truck and have pretty much no way in the middle of no where to get back, so I cut a few branches off some close by trees with my pocket knife and jammed open the door-jam then unscrewed my antenna and it was too short to reach the lock button!

So I'm checking the bed of my truck for ANYTHING usefull, found 4 inches of black electrical tape left on a roll, AH HA! So...I tape an arrow onto my antenna to extend it, and as I'm attempting to push the 'un-lock' button I hear "gobble...." I look and in the neighbors field haunting me is that cursed gobbler that I heared a few hours ago!

I got the truck unlocked McGuyver style and figured I'd had enough for today!
