I determined it was the battery. It was only two months old and I was able to replace it today at Advance Auto. been buying my batteries there and have had good luck until this one. I also use them for Snow goose hunting but keep them maintained. The two hook rigs are great and if you don't have time to make them, some Walmart's sell the Caps and Coleman one in the 3/8 and 1/2 ounce sizes for $8.56 or so.

Headed back tomorrow and the neighbor is following me. He did well up north on Tuesday out of Wilborn before the RR Bridge...
