Opening Day Success
Went out this morning for the opener. Had the big bird that I have been watching come in to 25yds with two hens and one of them had a 5-6 inch beard. First one I have ever seen. I'm not sure if he seen me move or what but he spooked and started walking away from the decoys. Guessed him for 30yds and let the bullhead fly. Missed to the right of his head and took a couple back feathers off. He took off and I thought my morning was over. Heard a couple more birds in the distance, so I kept calling about every 5 minutes. At 7:55 had this bird come in to my setup. Instead of a bullhead, I sent a 3-blade Rage at him and took out both hips at 30yds with a passthru. He only made it another 40yds after the shot. FIRST BIRD WITH A BOW!!!
18lbs 9 inch beard and both spurs are 7/8

18 + 8.75 + 8.75 + 18 = 53.5 points
