Yes Fire Im ready to go now. The wife told me tonight Im close to full turkey mode. I told her I thought I was already there and she said no. She told me the last week before season I reach my peak. hahahahahaIm only going to get worse hahahahaha

Could my luck get any worse??? I'll make this short. Very windy but found some birds. Took a 30 yard shot at a jake and went just under him, but my arrow did have feathers and just a touch of beard on it. Then found some more birds, between 50 and 75 all in a group. At least half were toms all fanned out. Got behind a big tree and tried calling. For 45 minutes they ignored me. Then 3 broke away and headed towards me. As 1 was coming up the hill I drew back and the bird stopped just on the other side of the tree about 10 yards out. All i could see down my sights was a beak and a double beard. I needed him to step just 1 more foot out, but he must of seen my decoys and turned and starte walking back. I let off, stood up and he was 15 yards out when I drew again. I shot and I heard a noise and my arrow went 10 feet over him. I tried to put another arrow in but nothing lined up. Found out that as I drew the 2nd time a branch got between my limb and cam and when I shot it jumped the string off my cam. SO with all those birds out there all I could do is say, "Might as well go home."

I am not there either but I am close....Just wish I could get the birds figured out...Starting to worry me a little. They are not where I thought they'd be....yet

Keep after em Mottz. It will come. get the gun out and bust one with it.

Mottz you can do it. Sounds like an experience though. I have had those days..actually had 3 birds one day (Different birds) that I screwed the hunt up on. The first was at first light...moved. Second was mid morning...I couldn't get it over the hill all the way and the third was after lunch and I called he gobbled while I was at a T...instead of dropping where I was I thought I have to get over there...busted...

1 more weekend of bow only before we can start gun season. I really want to fill my bow tag 1st.

I would love for you to put one down with your bow. Keep at em and you will prevail...
