Default RE: another turkey question

Wulff, I touched on string trackers in the other turkey question too. I do not like them personnally, I have had some bad experiences with them, but that is me, many of the other archers I know use them with good results. The only bird I bagged with a bow sort of committed suicide. My partner and I had just called a flock into range for him to put one down with his 3 1/2&quot; 12ga. and the rest scattered. As we were admiring his jake another jake flew into the woodline darn near on top of us! As soon as the new comer seen us it tried to hide in a bare bush. It was like the cartoons where the ostrich sticks its head in the sand. Well me hunting with my bow took the offerred shot only to be foiled by a low hanging branch (Oniedas are real finicky about that); first arrow went short. All the jake did was lift its head and look directly at me, which by this time I had another arrow at full draw, second arrow pinned him to the ground. That was the dumbest bird I have ever eaten <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>, he did get revenge though, he broke my arrow in half at the end. Turkeys are as challenging to hunt as deer, no two are alike.
