O/T Gobbler Down
It's funny... on my way walking to my blind this morning, I was thinking about all the incredibly good luck and incredibly bad luck I have had over these 30 plus years of turkey hunting. This morning it was all good... I cut this guy off from his hens on the roost... I think I was in the blind for 15 minutes when he stepped out of the woods at 26 yards. He would have come all the way to the decoys and put on a show, I'm sure... but 26 was good enough for me and the safety came off... I'll have one of my Excalibur's in my hand the rest of the season.

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Re: O/T Gobbler Down
Thanks guys!
Mr. Boo… I used my Mossberg 500 on that bird, but I’ll be bow hunting the rest of the year… had to get a bird in the hand first…
Mr. Norm… the Stevens didn’t work out for various reasons… mostly because I have OCD and It didn’t meet my self imposed standards…
I can’t hunt again until April 1st… but it will be me and the Vortex back at it… I hit a bird high last year with it and and didn’t recover it…. Maybe we can redeem ourselves this year!
