my boys first bird!!!
« on: April 27, 2014, 01:32:13 am »
After several years of trying.....finally success!!!!!! we have had many fine hunts seen many birds and a couple missed shots over the last 4 years but today he connected!!! using his wheelie bow and a sharp broadhead ;) The bird has an 8" beard 1" Spurs weighing in at 22 pounds! all but two of the tail feathers were broken off but he was the dominant bird in the area and the one he wanted to take I couldn't be more proud ;D. got it all on video to boot


Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

     I got my first Turkey, (OK my only turkey)when I was eight years old, down in the Big Cypress, with my Dad.  I used a .410 with number 4 shot.  One pellet went through the heart.  I was a good distance for even a 12 gauge, but my little full choke single shot, did the job.  I remember it was all I could do to carry it.  I ended up riding on my Dad's shoulder, back to camp.  Your Son will not forget this day!  Especially with a bow!  Even if it was a wheelie, it was a bow, and arrow!  Good for him, and especially good for you, for taking him hunting!  I can only imagine how you feel.  One tail feather?  Just goes to show, that even an old beat up guy, can still get the girls!  It sure does have some nice primaries though!  Those will make some nice fletching! ;)  Now you need to make some arrows, with those feathers, for him. ;) Congratulations to your Son, and to You!

That is no small task with a bow of any kind. Congrats!! ;)

He is going to tell this story thousands of times in his life, and you are going to star in that memory.  Feel good to be a hero?  Good work, Thad!
