turkey surely won. ;D got up to the top of this mountain, an hours walk. scouted around before dark found lots of hen poop and big gobblers tracks. we came around a corner a turkey ran across the loggin road.we laid down our stuff 100 or so yards away and went and scouted a little. while my dad was undoin his stuff i took a walk about a hundred yards away. well a turkey flew up through the trees. i walked a little more and a nother took off. good place for the mornin. we got up and it was chilly, so we walked to were i saw the turkeys, called nothin so we sat there and heard a gobble prob. over amile away downa hollow up on top of another big mtn. that pretty much was it. way to far to cover and they were quiet and not responding, we went after it a bit but it turned out to be to far. walkin out we called but saw or heard no other gobbles. it was quiet. though a good night be in our high country sleepin out. felt good to be out with arrows and a bow i had made even if i didint get a shot. the guy and girl we saw gave me a look when they saw me in my buckskin shirt carrying a stick bow with arrows in a fox hide quiver. ;D

good luck chasing them buzzards >:D
from what ive been hearing the first week and half of the season hasnt been all that good hear. sounds like they may be running a couple weeks behind schedule for breeding. which is good for me and mine,cause we dont get to go untill the 17th of may. so maybe the bowseason here will be better this year.
goodluck again on your buzzard chase.

its about 4:00 right now... well be headed up to the small mountain in about 20 minutes to chase these birds. shot yesterday and i was and the bow was shootin true! ;D

got into em. this morning. man my leg was shakin like crazy and my heart was beaten. 2 gobblers came to within 50 yards. the one was feedin while the other was goin from white to red... he was struttin and headed straight at me. oh man that was exciting. anyway he ahd gobbled into us. something that doesnt happen, so we knew exactly where he was. though, i knew if he kept coming he would be right at me. he strutted and stopped and sat there a couple minutes, let out a cluck my dad said, and started walking back, i guess he wasnt too spooked or he would have run or flew.
my real big game hunt... it was great, we saw a guy and he saw my stuff, my bow, wood arrow and my buckskin bag along with my fox hide quiver and buckskin neck knife, its funny, he said its hard with a compound or gun let alone a primtive bow... anyway good action today good lluck to any of you guys... ;D ;D ;D

Kool Hunter! Sounds like a blast! Myb heart always beats fast when I seem em' comin too. I like it better when they come out of nowhere and all I gotta do is act, thinkin too much is dangerous.
-
Sounds like you are well on the way to gettin a bird.. hope you get the chance to loose an arrow.. remember, those birds are tough,wait for the perfect shot.. my first bird spooked as I drew my bow and made a bad hit on it.. spent the remainder of the day crawling through the woods searching for the wounded tom.. they can hide like nobodys business. I finally saw him hiding under a chokecherry bush and was able to get him with a second shot... learned my lessons well.. only take the best shots on those winged warriors.. Hawk .. good hunting little brother...
-
thanks guys, my heart was a thumpin as when i hunt anything, even small starlings to big deer. yeah hawk, i know if i dont get a shot all year thats fine, even after a while if a bad maybe good shot would come, i wouldnt take it. ill take the best shot i have.

Sounds like a great weekend.Good hunting is always better than lucky killing. Good luck is having another day of hunting. Frank
