all trad season

[JPE]

Am leaving in a few minuets for my first turkey hunt of the year. This year it will be all traditional or nothing. Have a brush pile in back of me and some burlap stretched in front. Been like this since last fall deer hunting. Misty rain this morning. No wind. Here's hoping.

[cacciatore]

Way to go.This is what i do since long time.

[Stiks-n-Strings]

good luck to you. I got my first trad bird this year and it was great.

[Kevin Winkler]

Good Luck! I did the same thing last year and got my first Trad turkey, Elk and deer. It was a great year for me, I'll send some mojo your way.

Thanks guys    Turkeys 1  Jim 0   My blind had settleed a little since I checked it a few weeks ago.Was not as hidden as I like. Heard a bird a long way off so I tried to call him. IT WORKED!! He gobbled I answered. This went on for awhile. He shut up and so did I. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. His head went behind a tree, or so I thought. I started to move my bow to ready position,tip moved just a little. That was enough. He turned and was gone clucking all the way. He was within about 30yds. Think I will try again tomorrow.

No barrells today Jim?

[stickbowmaniac]

Good luck.Thats the path i'm choosing this year to.

[JPE]

No Tony, there is no baiting in Mo.

[Tony B]

Good thing! If barrells were in season you'd shoot a booner!!!!!!!!!!! Your site will have the same barrell this season. Or should i change your mojo and use a metal one?Looking forward to having you in camp this fall!
Tony

[JPE]

Metal is way to noisy. If you change barrels on me they will think someone else is there and not come in. Remember need a big soft seat. Or a ground blind. I am getting old and need my comfort.   Jim

[Tony B]

Comfort='s sleep! I'll get you an easy chair!

[JPE]

Recliner please  Lazy boy would do.

[KentuckyTJ]

The success's just got sweeter. Good luck and keep us updated.

I hunted first 5 days with my compound (this is a transition year for me). I'm going with recurve and Bullhead broadheads in the morning.

[JPE]

Still no turkey, work has been getting in the way. I really dislike these addictions. Roof over your head , food on the table, clothes for the kids.......

[dnovo]

Jim, you don't need all those frills in life. Food on the table is when you kill a turkey, Kids have too many clothes already, you already got a roof...GO hunting

Monday opener I missed on a bearded hen with my recurve shooting from a natural ground blind, I think the fletching touched the chest.
My goal is to take a turkey, elk, and a deer in the same year with the recurve.
Oh yeah, also the lottery would be nice to win.
