Way to go Curt,The set up looks great not much of a turkey hunter but would like to take one with a bow someday...ED
Put some air under it.

I was being serenaded while I was setting the blind and while setting the dekes,with bino's I could see some birds silhouetted against the full moon.

I had a guy I work with in the blind with me.He's never turkey hunted and has been with me the first 3 days.Needless to say,he's hooked!!

As it got close to about the time I figured they would fly down,I got off my stool to look at the birds in the distance with my Leica's.Just as I got them in view,they pitched and sailed right toward the dekes. I made a mad scramble back to my stool just as the birds landed about 40 yds away. The lead bird immediately started to strutt right at "Floyd"........

Got my bow out of the holder and prepared for the shot I knew was coming.....He was walking slow,taking his time strutting up the hill. At about 14yds he stopped and stood stone still,very slighty quartering toward me. I planned on letting him come the extra few yrds closer  to get right to Floyd.But with him standing so still,it was a great time to shoot.
I remember picking a highlight on his feathers and letting the string slip.....
