    My buddy filmed me shooting a Tom three weeks ago. It was my turn to film him last week. I got him into turkey hunting three years ago when I started and things are finally coming together this year!

    Had done hens come in early and cross the field. I did some calling after they left around 730am and another hen cackled and flew into the field. She had a Jake following her. When the Jake saw the funky chicken decoy it was all over. Wasn't sure if Trav would shoot a Jake but since it was his first bird he let him have it.

    His excitement and reaction is priceless. He's hoping to use his recurve next time we go out!

    Here's the video if you'd like to see it.

    Yes we do. Just made a channel recently. We started with a website- SheddingLightOD.com. Still need to upload some prior hunts. Search for SheddingLightOD on YouTube.

    We also have a Facebook page under the same name. And no we don't post every stinkin day like some of the groups do. Maybe once a week or every other week.

    And thanks for the positive comments. We appreciate that. Hoping to get a bow kill on film Friday!
