PS... My arm wasn't long enough to make the brookie look as big as HE REALLY WAS!!!

Kenny was getting consistent 6"-3" groups at 15 yards when we were done this afternoon. It's the little things that make the big differences sometimes. No more stonewall kills from here on out.

OK now he can use my arrows :cool:

Thanks Doc..lol... It's amazing what 1 little change can do. Dave gave me a hand full of aluminums that flew nicely for me once I used his pointers. Out of my selfbow too!!

Looks like the feathers part of this adventure is over. Went to the woods this morning and as soon as I stept out of the truck I heard em. Gobble, gobble, gobble!!

I got my gear and headed off across the road from yesterday's set up. Every so often he would sound off, and I was able to get a bearing! Oh boy here we go.

As I was makin my way across a hay field and into a little notch in the woods which lead to a small plowed field, I heard him again. Gobble, gobble, gobble....BANG!!!

tippit · « **Reply #85 on:** May 19, 2007, 12:14:00 PM »

The gobble & then a bang must have really gotten the old ticker going

4runr · « **Reply #86 on:** May 19, 2007, 12:22:00 PM »

Yeah, but not really in a good way. If it had been my bang, it would have been a different story! :D

It was still probably 150-200 yards away when it happened, but it still makes you jump!!

tippit · « **Reply #87 on:** May 19, 2007, 01:39:00 PM »

Yeah, I didn't mean it in good way. It would have

it out of me!

Kenny, Congrats on the Brook... They are good eatin. Sounds like you had a good time

vermonster13 · « **Reply #89 on:** May 19, 2007, 05:45:00 PM »

Kenny had lots of fresh sign, gobbles and such today, but he needs to do the story telling. A few more fish today too.

After getting excited and bummed in short order, I decided to go to the other property Dave showed me yesterday.

It's kids summer camps surrounded by alot of beautiful forest. There are tons of trees down all over the place up there so that probably had some effect on how the birds were acting. I got no response to any calling (maybe Vermont turkeys talk different). I saw alot of sign where they had been, but no clue where they were.
I got a few pics of the place which I'll share later.

After going back to the hotel to shower, I picked Dave up and we headed to the river. We fished and chatted for about 4 hours. I caught 1 little native brook trout and Dave caught 1 brown after changing bait. We got no pics cause we were more concerned with keeping them alive than taking pics, sorry.

All in all I count this trip a success. Making new friends and having a good time shooting bows and learning how to shoot better, meant alot to me. Dave not being able to scout the birds due to his ordeal with the appendix was something knew coming into this and I have no dissapointment about it. I will be back next year, and I hope others will as well.

Here are a few more pics;

Dave's deer hunting throne;

A morel mushroom, the only one I saw all year, and it was too far gone to eat;

and last but not least, the real reason for the trip (Doc, you forgot your's)

Whip · « **Reply #92 on:** May 19, 2007, 11:29:00 PM »

Sounds like a great time was had by all! Thanks for taking those that couldn't be there in person!

vermonster13 · « **Reply #93 on:** May 19, 2007, 11:35:00 PM »

Tomorrow French Manny is going to be here so we may still have something to add. The appendix and a few other things really threw everything into a mess, but we made the best of it and it wasn't hard to have fun with Kenny here. Jeff's time with us was a treasure in and of itself too. Meeting TGers is a reward all of it's own.

more Good pic's

Kenny,
It sure was great to meet you and Dave. Even though it was just one day, I feel like I've added two more special friends! I'll be back up when you come back. Heck by then I maybe a boarder at Dave's house

This would be a great TG Annual Spring Meeting...(TGASM...hint hint!)

Dave,
I like your tree stand...I mean rock stand. Very Traditional & New Englandy. Does it come supplied with that last picture Kenny posted

Doc

It's set-up to be a great place to watch the sunset, raptors hunt, and othe various critters run around. Never actually shot anything from it though and that has never bothered me a bit.

Looks like we're on for the fall Jeff if you would like to come back up.

tippit · « **Reply #97 on:** May 20, 2007, 10:57:00 AM »

Two Adirondack chairs and a case of Otter Creek between us...you bet

Doc

vermonster13 · « **Reply #98 on:** May 20, 2007, 10:58:00 AM »

Just so happens that there are three of them there, so we're good. You guys will just have to carry the other two over a little bit.

Now I'm up for this hunt
