Thanks guys for the kind words. I'll try to answer all the questions. All gear in the picture was all homemade except the modified Super Glove and arrow. My pot calls I make from some Bruce Wurth influence, my longboxes I make from Neil Cost school of longboxes and my bow I made from some Robertson influence. That bow (58#@29) is 9 years old now. That is a Silver flame 150 gr. and I am mounting the bird hanging upside down in a dead mount in front of an old wagon wheel. Also I shot this bird at 14 steps with a pass through shot and he went 19 steps. My shortest recovery to date and my first sucessful kill with a game tracker which held up for the 5 yards and didn't affect accuracy. Shot was high thigh broadside. Birds were henned up on the ground by 6:30am. I started calling with fast cutts mixed with 3-4 yelp series and the hens drug the 2 gobblers in around 7:00am. I use a Call Purrfect jig to make my mouth calls. Bird was 2 year old and spur less!!!, 17#. Shot bird out of one of those "dang" tent blinds through the netting. I was really lucky to get my bird. I had some good friends that are great bowhunters with me on that trip that went birdless. They will get their Goulds I'm sure next time. Thanks Shoeman. Hope everyone has my luck the rest of your season. JoeBuck

It's hard to grow good spurs when you climb mountains all day long...

Once again, that is an incredible accomplishment. That is a lot of work and dedication taking all those turkeys, not to mention with all handcrafted equiptment. Amazing

Joe, first let me congratulate you. Second, I would like to say, what I enjoy most about your accomplishment and narrative, is the fact of how you appriciate what the Lord has given us and how you feel about it. Good on Ya

Way to go Joey. I knew you have what it takes and would pull through in the clutch without choking like some losers we know..... :>)

Steve H. · « **Reply #31 on:** April 29, 2007, 03:27:00 PM »

So what's next, a capracalie? (I know I spelled that wrong...)

Terry Green · « **Reply #32 on:** May 01, 2007, 04:00:00 PM »

Still catching up on all that I missed while I was gone......

Congrats again Joey!!!

Gene, Just curious, What loser you talkin about? Congrats Joey. I know how hard you worked to accomplish that and I'm glad I could be a part of it! A two year old with no spurs? What's that all about? It probably doesn't really count.

Joey, holler at me or Matt when you get ready to add that Occellated for the World Slam

Gene Wensel · « **Reply #35 on:** May 02, 2007, 05:12:00 PM »

Marty, you aren't the loser. Matter of fact, Joey constantly reminds me you're "a real winner"....
