RE: Team 2 Meet The Flockers
Could my luck get any worse??? I'll make this short. Very windy but found some birds. Took a 30 yard shot at a jake and went just under him, but my arrow did have feathers and just a touch of beard on it. Then found some more birds, between 50 and 75 all in a group. At least half were toms all fanned out. Got behind a big tree and tried calling. For 45 minutes they ignored me. Then 3 broke away and headed towards me. As 1 was coming up the hill I drew back and the bird stopped just on the other side of the tree about 10 yards out. All i could see down my sights was a beak and a double beard. I needed him to step just 1 more foot out, but he must of seen my decoys and turned and starte walking back. I let off, stood up and he was 15 yards out when I drew again. I shot and I heard a noise and my arrow went 10 feet over him. I tried to put another arrow in but nothing lined up. Found out that as I drew the 2nd time a branch got between my limb and cam and when I shot it jumped the string off my cam. SO with all those birds out there all I could do is say, "Might as well go home."
