Way to go,I knew it wouldn't be long.Can't wait for the story & pictures.

Guru · May 10, 2008, 09:48:00 PM

Ok, Sorry for the long wait....but you know.....the time thing......

I'll keep this short and use a lot of pix as I'm very tired and need to go to bed.Hunting in the morning.Roosted a bird in a great spot,but I'm going to leave it for a hunt with Cade.Hunting another good spot in the morning though.....

On with todays short, before work hunt......

I set up in the dark as I wasn't real sure where the birds would be roosted. I knew they'd be somewhere withing earshot of the field I was set up in......I got lucky! First gobble really jarred me! He was only about 50yds away right on the edge.....

I called to him twice in the tree and soon I heard wingbeats as I scrambled to grab my bow.He hit the ground about 60yds away out in the field with a serious attitude!

He strutted right in to "Floyd"....before I knew my arrow took him perfect from about 6 yds!

He ran right at my blind and came so close I probably could have grabbed him had I been ready to do so. He went about 10 more yds and tipped over!

In this pic you can see the set up and "Billboe" where he died.....

I walked up to this.....

"Floyd" got a little tied up and dirty(in a good way).......

One happy hunter.....

I was tucked in the corner and he was roosted in the tall tree with a lot of leaves furthest to the left of the corner....

Spur's 1 1/8" and 7/8"....

Beard was thin, but 10 " long and he weighed 20# on the nose......

Here's what a Vapor 3000,tipped with 300grs. of big snuffer will do with a perfect hit...from my 56" Kempf Kwyk Styk "Cy".......

On the way out,just in front of the off thigh.....

on the way in,just behind the wingbutt....
