4_23_15 I am 65 today and as a treat I shot my first 2015 bird. The distance was 15 yards camera is deceiving. The decoys are at 10 paces roughly 10 yards. I set everything close - sometimes even closer!
I adapted the mount and the camera flew off on the recoil. Need to fix that!

Kind of a crappy video did it work for you?

I can only get better......camera popped off at the shot.

Thanks

I had a good morning. I call in a 2 year old Tom and 4 Jakes and 2 hens in 10 yards. No Kill. I am looking for something bigger.

My grandson and I only heard 1 gobble and heard some hens in the strip of woods beside us but we didn't see any birds.

Hey thanks all.........I have shot quite a few birds on quite a few birthdates......most memorable? On My 40th some 25 yrs ago shot my 3rd turkey with my great granddaddies 50 lb 16 Ga side by side a Black Powder shotgun with silver inlays.
That has since been retired as it will go off 'half cocked!' The sear is wore so I do use it for Hunter Safety classes.

That was cool!
