Lion kill
My turkey hunt on the Navajo Res in Arizona lasted all of 45 minutes. Had 3 gobblers calling from the roost got set-up 40 minutes later the birds flew down a did a series of clucks on my box call a nice tom comes to about 15 yards I let my arrow fly and the cables come off 
no bird end of hunt. Helped a youth the rest of the hunt. All was not lost at least I found this nice lion killed mule deer skull.

Redemption!!!
Had a sweet last couple of days, making up for last Saturdays miss.
I decided to start my NY trip early and played hooky Monday to hunt the state land in the Pocono mountains in PA. I managed to kill a suicide 2-year-old that came strolling up the logging trail, strutting & gobbling the whole way. 20#, 8 1/2" beard, 3/4" spurs. NWTF Score: 52
Yesterday's hunt in NY was pretty much a washout, rain all morning & fog rolled in around 10. This morning started a little slow, had birds roosted but they flew down & immediately headed the other way. Got out quick & decided to try a honey hole we knew of, struck a gobble within 10 minutes. Had 2 birds coming in, decided to shoot the first one that showed himself, it was a 22# gobbler, 9" beard, 7/8" spurs. He spent a good 10 minutes hiding behind a tree before he finally presented a shot, my arms started cramping up holding the gun in position, LOL.
NWTF Score: 57.5.
I think that is it for me shooting this year, my youngest boy (14) has expressed a renewed interest in hunting, so I am going to spend the next 3 weeks trying to get him his first gobbler (or two). Wish me luck!!
Pictures to follow soon.
