Well, I missed a jake last evening![:@]The only shot I got this last weekend with my bow. I did hammer a tom with my shotgun though!:D I'll be making one more trip back to KS. in a couple of weeks to try again. Don't count me out yet!:)

Weather was crap!!!!! Called in a 1/2 doz jakes.A couple of lone hens later on and that was it.Not one gobble all day?!?! I'll be back at it Fri.Sat,Sun.

RE: team 6
 

I've not got to get out too much and so far no success. However, if all goes according to plan, I'll be hunting all day Sunday, which will probably be my last chance even though there is still another week of season.

SORRY GUYS!!!!! I failed. I should have taken a Jake but was hopeing for the big one.

RE: team 6
 

That's the way it goes sometimes. I missed a jake which is worse than not getting a shot at all. I'll be making one more trip to the farm in about 10 days to try one more time. Hoping to find some lonely Toms by then.

Well, I guess I am done with zero tags filled. I hunted Sunday and had some hens within bow rangeand some gobblers responding but the gobblers would never come onto my property.

They hung up about 30 yards from me and would not cross the fence. Since I do not have permission to hunt where they were,I did not pursue.

Season isn't over until Sunday, but it is unlikely that I will get a chance to get out again.

I have 2 weekends left, and a few weekdays to get this done. I havnt even connected on one with my gun yet but im prolly going to switch to the bow after this weekend.

Hello, is any body in here!;)Hey guys, I finally connected with my bow, just this morning on my last morning of the season. My friend from here in CO. and I killed a unique double on the same stand this morning, and captured it all on film.
I shot mine at 8 yards with the bullhead and when it started floppin' around, the other toms and jakes came running into the set and my friend shot a nice tom too with his shotgun. He actually missed his first shot, but connect as they were scattering.
Mine had a beard 10.25", left spur of 1.125", right spur 1.25" and weighed 19#'s. The score I come up with = 60.75.
It was an awesome hunt to say the least. And here's a pic. of the two toms, the two weapons and two happy hunters. Me on the left. :)

In hind sight, one thing I should've done was clucked with my mouth call to try to stretch my gobblers head/neck out for my shot. These bullheads really are head/neck only broadheads, and if anyone try's to tell you otherwise, call BULLchit on them because they simply won't penetrate the body, at all! I hit my turkey at the base of the neck while in full strut and slightly quartered to me. Broke two blades and did NOT penetrate more than 1", just enough to kill the turkey quickly.
Here's a pic. of the damage. I'm only pulling about 65#'s on my bow right now, but I don't think a 90# pull would get much penetration either, not without breaking all the blades off. See for yourself.
