Sorry guys, my wife needed the computer for a work issue.......where was I......the line finally stops after about 60 yards plays out. I just sat there for a few minutes waiting for it to move some more, but it didn't. I figured it might be smart to wait awhile longer, so I packed everything up, left my bow there with the string tracker and brought my stuff to the truck. I called a friend for help, but he was off fishing and wouldn't answer the phone....

After 35 minutes I was back to where I had shot the turkey, nothing seemed to have moved. I found my arrow, and realized that with the pass through I would have a double string trail to follow.....the cool part was that one string was white and the other was red, and shone bright whenever it was in the sun. I started on the trail, and it led right to very thick cover. I was doing my best to try to look where the string led to try to see the turkey, in one nasty spot I took a step and he exploded at my feet, running off but not very fast. He WAS hit hard. I watched as the string continued and then I heard it snap....oh oh. I followed it to it's end about 20 yards away, and then tried to follow the direction it had been headed. I found a bunch of feathers where it had run into a tree, and then into a swamp. I had gone about ten yards into the swamp when I saw the bird in a crumpled heap in front of me....yessss! I walked up to claim my prize and the SOB got up and ran off again! This time I was right on him, he stopped 25 yards further into the swamp, with me about six yards from him, this time I took no cahnces and put another arrow into him and ended it. I could not believe how that bird kept going, he had a hole the size of a sliver dollar in the forward part of his chest and would not give it up, unbeleiveable. He is a jake that weighed 15 pounds with a thick 4" beard, a true trophy to me.

I have to tell you, without the string tracker I don't know if I would have found this bird, and I'm sure he would have died.....thanks Curt.

After all that my buddy calls and asks what I need....he did come with a camera and took a couple of pics that didn't come out all that well...here is one...

When I got home I took a couple of more with my camera, here is one of the bird and my Kwyk Styk....

There is something to this mojo thing, I had good thoughts thinking back to my LDB hunt and think that the spirits from that bow were helping me out.

Oh yeah, I might hunt just the last few days of May from now on too...... [bigsmyl]
