Wow, congrats Curt!

Nice pictures too.  Is that a game tracker string I see on that entry shot picture?  Also, what's behind the head that looks like velcro in the close up pic of the spurs?

I might have to break down (or is that save up?) and get me one of them double bull blinds some day.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Great story and pics. Love the one of the hooks over the limb. Game tracker string a little anti climatic when the bird drops at the spot. Nice shooting, trophy bird, earned kudos.

I think a spring gobbler with trad bowhunting tack is top draw.   :)

You guys really make a guy look forward to sharing these adventures with you.Thanks Again...   :notworthy:  

Dave, yes the string is attatched with the help of velcro.See  "String Tracker and Trad Bows" in the how to forum.Here's another pic of the tracker set up...  

Double Bull is money very well spent!!

Ya know....it felt good to sleep in today

WOW!
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Holy Smokes, that bird had spurs like a TX Longhorn.  Congrats!
