Looks good.  Some day I'll venture into the ghillie suit world.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I keep thinking of getting myself into a ghillie.  I too feel kinda couped up in a blind but it's the best way to go for me.  I have a few spots where I almost literally set up in the middle of a field with no cover.

Only a couple more months to wait!

Thanks guys, I think I can make it work.... if the birds will!!

I will probably make a few arrows with natural turkey feathers, and I have a home built quiver kinda like the GFA to pack em in.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Kenny I really like the idea of nothing but air between the hunter and the quarry.

I think you will kill with your set up.

Should work if you stay on the ground.  I am no turkey hunter but I can never get to full draw on a turkey from a tree.  

Bow, arrows and suit look great.  I know the turkey are there.  Can't wait to hear about the arra flingin.  :laughing:
