RE: What's the closest you've had a mature strutter?
Yes really ,that close and i blew it .I couldn't believe that I never took that gobbler ,I swore he had a arrow pass right through him .I had heard a noise when I released my arrow but couldn't figure it out ,until i was folding my blind up and seen the hole in the window .I really thought I had hit this bird and it drove me crazy trying to figure out what had just happened .There was actually 2 big gobbler's and both were in strut one about 5 feet and the other about 10 feet ,both were very impressive bird's and I blew it LMAO now! but I almost cried then .
Sorry I was so wrapped up with telling you about these bird's ,I forgot to congratulate you on your great bird ,way to go .It's a rush for sure when that bird's almost crawling over you for sure .Congrat's again.
