Here is a pic of the turkey I got.
23lbs 6 inch beard with 3/4 inch spurs.
Shot with the bow at 20yards.
By the way I am just over 6' and around 270lbs.
I have already been told that the bird looks small
with me behind it. No fat jokes guys.

Well I got a doe on tuesday night. I posted the story in th bowhunting forum under "tracking a doe in the rain" I will post pics tomorrow. The pics that I have are not the best but they aren't in the garage or the back of the truck. It was raining and I was cold so I was glad to get what I got. Happy to answer questions as the before mentioned post is long and might be a little confusing. I will post a pic here to.

She was a big doe. I was also surprised that she was dry. No milk at all in her. I didn't weigh her because I was just exhausted but after hanging her to skin her out last night I would guess 130 maybe. Now it is time for to do some buck hunting. The one nice thing about tracking in the pouring rain is you don't leave much scent.
By the way guys I have a turkey breast soaking in italian dressing and a back strap with a little garlic dry rub waiting to get cooked up and ate tonight.

I went to stand up from my chair and saw the yearling i just turned in my seat, drew and let loose, rookie mistake hit about 3 inches over her back right into a tree, no deer. But a deystroyed arrow and broadhead.

I went out after work tonight and came () that close to getting another doe.I was in a neighbors yard and2 does were heading towards my shooting lane. This neighbor wants me to kill them all. They trash his garden every year.It was really windy here tonight so the deer were skittish. They would stop and look take a step or two and look and smell the air. The 1st one was just about to step into my lane when the second one must have goosed her. She jumped straight up in the air and shot across my shooting lane. Then the second one trotted across and they were gone. Saw 4 more does and young ones about 60 yds away a little later but no shots. The colder weather had them moving early.

Well, I havent been in the woods since last Saturday. [&:] Was supposed to be back out there today but I've been fighting off a head cold all week and today my alarm went off at 4am and I never made it out of bed. Couldn't go 2 minutes without coughing or blowing my nose. Not sure when I'll be back out there again. Hopefully in a couple days after this has passed.
