Morning Turkey Hunt, no bird, pic & video
« on: April 22, 2008, 02:15:00 PM »
Well I finally got out to use the ground blind my wife bought me.
 Weather: cloudy, drizzle
 Temp:  55 degrees
 Ares Hunted Quantico Marine Base
 Game Taken: Zippo

   
The calling and waiting starts.

   
The decoy set.

   
Me listening...to nothing answering.

   
The new (to me)  Browning Cobra I, an excellent 50" bow, great for in the blind.

My view from inside looking out.

Well better luck next time.

All pictures and video were taken with a Palm Treo Cell Phone/PDA.

I've only got out one day so far.  Didn't hear any gobbles but I was able to sneak up on 6-8 toms and dispatch one with a 12guage bow.  :)   I've got Hope for two weeks and Friday/Saturday off so I'll be chasing them hard with a bow.

Hoping to go out Sat. if it is dry.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
