Sorry Team 11, I got skunked!

[Phil in MO]

The season is over here in Missouri and I' m empty handed. I spent the first two and a half weeks trying to get a turkey with my bow, but in that time I didn' t even have a shot for a gun. So that is not an excuse. The turks just would not cooperate at all with me. Strangest year I' ve seen yet.

I wanted to make a plug for Jerry at www.StealthArchery.com . He sent me a bow holder to try out and I promised to give a report so everyone could hear about how it worked. With the season I had, the bow holder was used a lot It really is a must if you are hunting with a bow and out of a blind. The holder breaks down into two pieces so it fits into your turkey vest pocket easily, that really makes a difference when your carrying a bow, blind, and decoys. I liked the bow being up and ready for use. Even though I didn' t get a shot, I thought they were coming several times and I was glad I didn' t have to move very much to get the bow into position. If you bowhunt from a blind, you will be well served with a Stealth bow holder.

I got skunked when I went to Missouri, too. (I hate fences!!) Funny thing is/was, everyone I talked with/ran in to, seemed to be having good success, except me. I learned something with each day' s hunting in the Show Me State, however, and know that my Missouri failure will not be an annual thing. That' s why they call it hunting.

don' t feel bad ya' ll. we all get skunked now and then. I got skunked last year

Phil, how much for the fold up bow holder? I bowhunt a lot and that sounds like what I need. I made me one, but it' s long, heavy, and bundlesome.

I wouldn' t feel to badly, it can and does happen to the best of us. At least you had a chance to get out there and experience the great outdoors. Things will be different next year!
