Dream come true
« on: April 23, 2016, 07:12:00 AM »
It finally came together. This is my second year turkey hunting with a bow. Last Sunday morning I tried to sneak in a quick hunt before church. I climbed into my blind just before daylight and it wasn't long until I had some action. A big Tom was roosted only 100 yards away. Before I knew it he was in my lap. Strutting at 5 yards. I went to draw my bow and he caught my movement. Without thinking the arrow was gone. Stricking him high in the back as he departed quickly. After some frustration and no sign of him, I went home and ordered me a string tracker from Chad O. I already own one of his armguards. The next encounter would be Wednesday evening. I played hookie from church and went to another location. As I pulled into my parking area I noticed a turkey to my right in the edge of the woods. He worked his way back into the woods, so I grabed my things and circled around him. After setting everything up i gave a few yelps. It wasn't long, and he gobbled around 75 yards away. I watched and waited finally caught movement to my right. He was working his way in. When he seen my decoys he got spooked and started to leave. I gave a few calls and he settled down. He worked his way to about 30 yards and hung up. He stood and strutted and gobbled. We played this game all evening. He finally worked his way off around 30 min. Before dark.

Yesterday evening, my son and I returned to the same area. This time I had my new string tracker installed and ready to go. We packed our blind, decoys, and chairs into my favorite spot. After setting up I gave a few soft calls and sat back and waited. I caught movement from the left. It was a Jake sneaking in. My son was carring my mossberg shot gun for back up. The plan was to wait and see if he would come into bow range, my son couldn't handle the pressure. He finally worked his way to about 20 yards. The arrow flew true. He hit the ground and it was all over in a matter of seconds. After a few high fives and pictures, we settled back into the blind. I sent Dalton a few pictures and he quickly called me to congratulate me. After I hung up the phone, I caught movement again. This time it was right at my decoys. Two more Jake's had moved in. My son quickly took the opportunity. This will be a day I will never forget. I will post a few pictures later. I'm typing this while setting in the blind this morning. Oh I got the job done with my centaur longbow and Easton traditional axis arrows with a 200 grain abowyer head.

Nice work!  

I've tried for a bit this morning, but my pop-up blind bit-the-dust last year, and I just have trouble sitting still enough for a natural ground blind.
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Congratulations!!!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
