SPOONWASHER Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Well.... Couldnt hunt this morning because of school but raced home and got set up behind the house. After about 30 min I did a little calling, waited a minute did a little more and then shut up. About 2 minutes later I hear drumming behind me and I start shaking like a leaf! Out pops a red head through the brush 10 yds away no chance for a shot. I can tell its the big one I have been watching a little bit recently. In the mean time a jake walks 5 yds in front of me right up to the deke and just stands there looking around. The tom got mad at the little guy for stealing his lady and made a circle and stopped 20yds away out in the wide open. I pull back and put the pin just above the little green feathers when he was in full strut broadside and let her fly! Somehow I hit too far forward and got some feathers but not a dead bird:( He then proceded to run about 200yds and gobble his head off. Sat there and listened to him for close to an hour then snuck out. Im frustrated that I dont have a dead bird but at the same time happy that hes gonna live another day hopefully! Hope everyone had a good hunt!

phishtix Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 The cool thing about bow hunting is, as heart braking as it is to go through what you've just been through, it only makes it that much sweeter when you finally score. Hope you get some more chances soon!
Adam Bomb Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Sounds like a great hunt to me. Sorry you didnt get the result you were looking for. Thats hunting. You got plenty of time to redeem yourself...Best of luck Justin.
