Day 5
The guys from Florida went out after turkeys again in the wee morning hours.
For the rest of us... it was time to go home.
We did hit the Basspro Headquarters which wasn't too far away.
We also stopped at some other shops along the way. Ooooh... knives... [8D]
Chicago cutlery knives only 2.50 each!
Back in my home state.
Final thoughts
The trip started on a rough note, but ended up being more fun than I could have hoped for. Turkeys were taken earlier, but not while I was there. Next year the Bowbash will be moved up at least a week so that the turkeys won't be as call shy as they were in this last week of the season.
I'll be hunting those wily birds next year along with bowfishing again.
Thanks to Mike and his wife Handan for putting up with this group. We enjoyed the hospitality they gave us and we returned the favor by not tossing any carpcasses into thier dumpster.
I encourage all HuntingNet users to try and make this event next year. (Free HNI hat and Shirt!!)
It's worth the drive. Bring the whole family. There's a ton of stuff to do in the Branson area.
Oh, and I never did need to use the hammer. The truck has been starting just fine. I tell you, nothing brings out the Ford and Mopar guys like a Chevy on a flat bed. Enjoy that picture while you can.... because the rest of the time you'll just be trying to catch up.
