    You can't beat that with a hickory stick.
    Did he cut that birds throat with the broad head?

    Thats what im talkin about!! That was truley Awesome and congrats to both of you. A hunt you will never forget!
    Just a tip for the string to the decoy. you might try and use a small stake shaped like a J about 3 ft out from Deak to hold the string down a bit, but stake it loose. I use 2, one close and one about 10 ft out. I have had Hens or birds im not wanting to shoot in with the Deaks while others are on the way that I was after. They can get tripped up in the string very easily and get nervous when the deak gets pulled around a bit. I also use spyder wire for string. Its black, dont stretch and is almost invisable! Congrats again you 2 and it was nice seeing it on video!! :rock:

    That's one of the greatest videos I have seen! Absolutely love the excitement! Made me flash into the future and picture myself doing that with my son in 6 years.

    Guys thanks again. Blood good idea on the string, I made the stake and hinge that you seen in the video. It is a super braid that I use. I like the ground hooks you thought of.
