opening morning of our fall season this year a group came through...long story short i over estimated the range by 7yds and hit exactly where i was aiming...with my 20yd pin...which was just at the top edge of her back...blew some feathers...but that was it...they bolted...they busted me drawing and mom was being mom and stopped to wait for the young of the year to catch up when i sent one her way....

that evening, same stand, i dont think i left, if i did it was a quick lunch... but they ended up coming back...same group...mom was fine...i couldnt get a shot...they stayed out at 30ish yards and my woods are kinda thick past about 20 in that setup...never did get another shot...the next weekend was NASTY weather and the birds never left the roost, if they did they didnt move very far from it...then either that day or another day, small game hunters moved through and i believe shot at the flock...dont know if they hit any or killed any...but i didnt see or hear them again...

colllld snowy weather moved in and bow season closed...i went out in the snow and found a flock of 30+ birds and took a big hen with the ole shotgun just down the hill from my archery setup...once they flock up around here they can be harder to pattern..seems they gotta move around alot for food opposed to the small group i seen pretty much daily every time i bowhunted that setup this year....only like 7 or 8 in that group
