Once the group all met each other, it was time to practice for those unpredictable birds when they take flight.

I don't know if the disc or the bird is harder to hit?????

Since we still had a little time before we were going meet up with our "host for the day" at the Pheasant Hunt, it was time to try flu flu arrows on the 3D course.

I mentioned the 3D course earlier, and what a challenging course it is.  The Wilson's did a great job laying it out.  It starts out having to shoot across a pond at a hog on the opposite bank.  Each station is challenging in its own way with the bedded deer, javalina, turkey, panther, roverine and bear face-off, deer licking a salt block, and a deer behind a brush pile with only a few small window shooting opportunities (I think I've left one lane out, but I can't remember what it is).

I enjoyed meeting all the other guys as well. We had a great group. I was looking forward to doing something I'd never done before. .....hunting pheasants.  ...and yes we had great weather for sure.

After shooting the 3D course we loaded up and headed out for the 20 minute drive to Henegar, Alabama.  

We were met by Spencer (Owner/Operator of the Preserve), his son, and JR, and we were off for what was an exciting and fun-filled adventure.

The scenary and lay of the land was something else -- it reminded me of Kansas.

The photographer did a few 'rapid fire' camera takes.....and he got one of my 2nd rooster just as the arrow struck.....all the arrows in the pics before are blurred....and then there's one with my flu flu almost in full focus as he caught the pic just perfectly as the arrow stopped in the bird....I'll post that up in a bit....

We were hunting at Bengis Creek Outfitters with Spencer and Hunter Hall. They are both Traditional Bowhunters so they know what it takes to make a Hunt like this go very smooth. I think they had as much fun as we did!!!!! You can contact Spencer at 256-997-2074 and he can set up a hunt for you.....now a few action shots....
