great story....I too have put the scattergun away when chasing turkeys and ate all 5 of my tags last year.....and have missed at 18 and 20 yards this year by mere inch at a time...one time to the left...one time over back.  I am not giving up as I know I will be grinning from ear to ear and shaking like a leaf when I finally connect.

I am so glad to hear you finally got your bird with a stick and string....congrats it is well deserved.

never give up....

Congratulations on a great bird!  Nice pictures, and you have a super knack for telling a story.  Good luck with your remaining hunts.  I can hardly wait to hit the woods next week!     :pray:
