Finally did it, only took most of the season... again. Been trying to get a buddy a bird and have managed to put 11 birds in within 30 yards. I think they all have some sort of forcefield because the arrows sure havnt hit where theyre supposed to.
Anyway, after work today I hustled to the timber for some "Runnin n bowin" as someone so eloquently put it one time. I heard this bird in a field that has a ridge and got set up on him. After 45 minutes of calling he was hung up at 80 yards, wouldnt come no closer. I let him wander off and took the blind down, hustled around a point and set up again, got him coming but on the other side of the ridge yet again. I watched him pop the ridge gobbling his fool head off so after he went out of sight I moved straight at him about 60 yards and set up for the 3rd, and final time. I clucked and purred and he came on in. 6 yard shot with the NEW Bowtech Tribute pushing the same arrow and Gobbler Guillotine from last spring. His head did 3 flips before it hit the ground. First shot at wild game with the new bow as well, made for a great night!
If youre wondering why I am in shorts its because I didnt have time to run home for my camo. Grabbed the black fleece, hat, bow, and blind. Had to travel light!
Anyway, he was about 21 pounds, 9-10 inch beard and inch spurs. Not my biggest, but definately one of my most hard earned.
