Default RE: whats your memorible hunt

I have been fortunate enough to kill several gobblers in my day, my first when I was 12 years old. I would have to say tho, that my most memorable was last season. I set up along a field where they commonly fly down in the morning. I set a decoy at 20 yards, and waited. When I knew the birds were on the ground, I gave one loud excited yelp. Immediately the bird answered, and within 5 minutes I had 2 mature toms strutting at 5 yards. Keep in mind now, I am bowhunting, and not in a blind. I am just keeling next to a tree in some tall grass. You talk about exciting...Let me tell you that Pat is right...the warm fuzzy feeling is caused by a close up gobble. Anyway, I finally got the shot at 20 yards, with both birds strutting and looking away, I came to full draw and let fly. WHACK! The 23 pounder walked about 30 feet into the field, and fell over. Wow, now THAT was exciting. My first turkey with a bow and arrow.
