This was the second Turkey shot out of this blind........My brother shot one last season. He also missed two birds that were right in the decoys.......At first using this blind we were very carefull to havejust the little window open instead of the big one. The shooting lanes were really limited with the small window so we decided to try the big opening..........I have not had aTurkey respond negatively to this blind yet.........But deersure notice it unless you brush it in good.

This was my fourth season hunting Turkeys........I could have killed numorous birds with the shot gun but I love bow hunting so much that I decided to stick it out and get one with my bow. I've called quite afew in for me and my brother and have been hooked sinceI first started!

I shot this bird at 24 yards and hit him about an inch above his beard, a little high but droped him like a lead balloon..........He was dead before he hit the ground. The next Turkey I will try to hit the same spot
