It was extremely slow this morning, got into the woods late and there was nothing going on. I saw a few birds on the drive to the lease in the fields so I thought I'd start there first. No dice in the fields so I headed to another spot. It was misting and overcast and I didn't hear or see a thing. I decided to grab the bow and see if I could cross some piggy tracks knowing they'd be fresh due to last nights rains. I didn't see any pig tracks, just deer tracks. I was about 200 yards from the road and heard a really soft, short gobble between me and the truck. I didn't have anything except my release and a mouth call so I stepped off the road I was walking and sat between two big oak trees with one between me and where I heard the bird. I yelped once, he gobbled back and shut up. A few seconds later I could see the white head bobbing through the woods, but he was paralelling me instead of coming in, he crossed my lane at about 60 yards and went behind a big wood pile. I immediately repositioned and yelped again, it worked perfect... I could see that he made a turn as was coming back through my lane, and when his head went behind the last tree before he entered my lane, I drew. He got in the clearing and walked like he was on a string. He stopped at what I estimated 30 yards and I let it fly. He fell over and jumped back up flapping and trying to run and then just fell over. I let him lay there while I went and got the truck. He has small spurs and only ways 21 lbs, but his beard is just over 10 inches. Yeeha for team 4!!
Atta boy Dubbya, that makes 251.375 points for Team #4 Deep Fried. Which pretty much makes the competition DEEP FRIED!!:evil: We all knew you could do it buddy!
Thanks buddy, I was starting to worried... only 3 days left in our season. So about those prizes... :D
Congrats on a nice bird! A 30 yd. shot on a turkey is a great shot, esp. outside of a blind. Good Shootin'!! Dan
Congrats, man, why did you have to wait untill the bitter end though???? I am still going for broke till the 6th to try and fill my other tag. Congrats again.
Congratulations!! I don't know what it is about this year, but it seem like this year more of my online buddies have started really steppin' up their turkey game -- especially with the bows! Or am I just starting to notice it more this year? Maybe you guys are gonna give me the bug before it's all over with after all... :d
Awsome, congrats on a nice bird, that is awsome! Looks like I am the slacker on the team. These birds have pretty much shut up and I havn't been seeing any in the fields. I am tryin a new spot in the morning, hopefully I can fill the tag and make Team 4 a perfect 5/5!
I never had a doubt, I knew Da-Crew would come through Congrats again. Dude, you are now the King of Bowhunting.com.... Whitetail champion.... Turkey champion.... We should all just call you champ :d
ATTA BOY!!! Damn son, you make me so freakin proud! Rollin w/ the pink arras.....I just shed a tear. Awesome looking bird brother!! Nicely done, nicely done.
