I had to wait for shotgun season to open, done had gotten my 2 archery birds. In shotgun season you can use bow or shotgun or ML shotgun. I decided it was a no brainer, recurve or nothin!This morning, 35 minutes after daylight, hear a couple of gobbles, and 2 yelps. Was deer hunting, but decided to yelp with my mouth, and got an immediate response. Yelped a couple of more times and here come the birds. Had 5 fly right in beside my permanent natural blind, and 7 more in front of me in 2 minutes. ! I was not ready for this, but managed to stay still, rest my bow on my toe, shaking a little bit! Still more birds coming across the field, 2 flocks together, about 30 birds within 25 yards of me.Wind picked up and shook a few acorns loose, got them to disperse a little, and a couple of acorns drop into the blind. The "blind" is a circle of pine trees,about 8'x4' inside diameter, I planted several years ago, with the limbs wrapped and woven together, with black landscaping material tied to the bottom 2 feet high,and camo cloth in back and sides 4 feet high. Well one big hen hears them acorns, walks right into the blind and starts scratching and picking up acorns 10 inches from me, even scratches the side of my boot twice. I am about to LOOOSE IT!She looks me over purrs a couple of times and then goes back out to raid my cover crop with the other birds. I finally catch most of them with their head down or turned away, raise my Quinn about 4 inches and draw,anchor and drill one at 14 feet! Flies off about 50 yards and crashes. Them woodsmans do a job! There was birds running everywhere, best I could count was either 30-32 birds in this bunch. I had to wait 45 minutes for them to leave before I could get my bird. I will be there at daylight tommorow, one last tag. I am not a good turkey hunter, cant hear well enought, and got my first ever archery turkey last year with a longbow, just hoped to get another this year and have been blessed with 3! Just wanted to share, am so stoked I am about to pop. Sam.
