I would be shooting TreeSharks and for this year using a string tracker from Chad , and I’m sure glad I had the string tracker. I was set up kinda on the edge of a ridge as the sun came up and could hear gobbling all around but nothing very close. Along about 8:30 a Tom shows up from over the hill and works his way around and behind me , once he is out of sight I purr a little on a slate call. In very short order he is 5yds on my right and then he is about 12yds in front of me when I get the shot. The arrow hit a little low of where I wanted it and next thing I know the string is peeling off like I have a Black Marlin on the end of my arrow.
It seemed like the instant the arrow hit him he was airborne and pitched off the side of the ridge and I had no idea what way he went. And in only seconds all my string was gone , so now I sit kicking myself cause it’s a deep nasty canyon he just bailed into. I waited 3 hours before looking , my buddy came to help and soon as he walked up he was about 25yds in front of me and said here is your string. Ah what a relief , so we follow the string for about 100yds and then it was broken. Great it had broke right on the edge of the canyon and right where it starts getting nasty. No blood trail and really no idea where it went....
