It sure was cold out there this morning! Not as much gobbling close as I would like to hear but I decided to stick it out and wait, I've moved out too quickly and jumped birds coming in silent a few too many times. The last gobble I had heard was probably 150 yards away and 10 minutes earlier when low and behold a nice longbeard walked right through an opening exactlty like I had hoped and came straight in to my decoys and strutted around only 10 yards away. Somehow I managed to keep my composure and get the bow drawn and let it rip right as he turned his head quartering away just a little bit. A few flops and it was over, he was lying there dead only 11 yards from the blind. I looked at my watch and it was only 7:28 am.
24 pound gobbler with 10" beard and 1 1/8 spurs. I love it when a plan comes together!!
Equipement used: 2004 Bowtech Patriot with Copper John Dead Nuts sight and Trophy Taker Fall-Away rest shooting Easton Epic arrows tipped with Muzzy broadheads and Zwickey Scorpio grapplers that grip the shaft and slide down to the fletching after the hit to inhibit shoot-thru's.
Double Bull T-5 Pro-Staff blind on my "Double Bull Caddy" (A golf club hand cart converted to carry my blind along with daypack containing decoys, bow holder, etc.)
