Title: I got Supper...
Post by: Hidehunter on October 13, 2012, 08:43:47 AM
Opening day for Fall Turkey was today.  I went up to a little honey hole of mine where I know the birds roost and set down just before daylight.  I heard one fly down on other side of ridge but that was all I heard. I waited around and didnt make a sound for 20 minutes or so.  I then got up and snuck over the ridge and seen 5 hens feeding about 70 yards away.  They were feeding toward the next little hollar where there is a pine patch. I decided to sneak around and set up in the pines and wait for them to come around.  I went back the way I came to keep from being spotted and made my way around to the pine patch. Only problem was when I got there the birds had made better time than me and I jumped them.  4 went down the hollar and the other went around the point.  I went after the lone hen and got between her and the rest of them.  I waited to see if any of them would start calling and they never did.  I set up in a blown over tree top and called 2 times and she answered. I just shut up and about 5 minutes later she called and was just over a knoll in front of me.  Im glad she called when she did or I probly would have never got her.  I raised my bow and assumed the position.  She popped out at 30 yards and I put a rage through her.  She jumped and took about 5 steps and that was all she wrote.

I was pretty excited as I hadnt got a deer yet with my new bowtech so this old girl inagurated it.  Was a great morning to be out in the woods.

That is some good shooting and being able to get it done without being seen is great.

Very nice!  What a great sounding hunt.  Lots of action and you drilled one. 
How do you like your Bowtech?  That's a sweet looking bow.

I absolutly love it...Its a Black Ops edition Assassin.  I have always been a Hoyt man but that is slowly changing.  I also like how they put a little American flag on the underside of the limbs with 'In God We Trust' wrote under it.
