Title: Turkey Hunting in the morning-Oh Well!
Post by: chasing crow on April 28, 2012, 10:08:53 pm

Well, I have my ground blind built, my oak bow ready, and my poplar shaft arrow tipped with a flint point I got from Billy. Just checked everything out and took a few shots from the blind and if that old limb was a turkey, I'd have stuck him every time! Hope to get a stick after the real thing in the morning!

Well, no luck this morning. Nice weather and around 34 deg. Had turkeys just west of me (140 yd) and some NE across the river. Did call the westerners within 40 yd but couldn't talk them into crossing the small creek between us. Had 3 deer in very close. Nice morning in the woods. Maybe next time.

Thats the truth soybean! I have spent at least 40 hours this week hunting, ONE bird and ONE gobble all week, pics below at 35-40 yards. Still wayyyyyy better than working for the man any day!

35-40 yds... Man, if only you had a superhero bow with training wheels, front-fowarded carbon arrows, a trigger release, and all the other bells and whistles... it could have been yours... and not nearly as fun  ;D

I don't know how it works, but when I hunt deer with primitive bow... they are just out of bow range and I think, "man, if only I had my flinter."  When I have the flintlock out, they are just out of smoothbore range and I say, "if I only had my .270."  When I have the .270... I see nothing.
