Best of luck!:)

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

I have been wondering what you have been waiting for. Struck out again today. Going back after em tomorrow, and then next weekend will be it I believe.

I may take the boomstick next weekend if I don't get one tomorrow.

The thing is I have only had one opportunity to take one with the gun when I had my bow. These birds just do not cooperate at all. And I cannot get them to come out in the fields at all either. They just stay in the woods and walk the ridges and hollows.

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Good luck there germ, I hoping to make it up to my cabin next weekend!!!

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Well, how did you do, ant luck???

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

I really don't want to talk about it, LOL

I had two of the biggest turkeys in range, and could not shoot. I am a moron[:@]

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

You need a Dink hug [&:]I had the same thing Sat. two toms out in front and a Jake in my face at ten yards, i could not move :Dwhy could not shoot??? i need more info son :D

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

It's really stupid, right now I am beating myself up,lol I don't make mistakes like I did tonight, thx for the hug[8D]

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

No problem :Dnow carry on moron :D[8D]J/K

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Come on now...we need a story:D Could you have shot with the boom stick?;)

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Yes and burnt my blind down,LOL

Here it is in a nut shell. The mosquotes were terrible tonight, I mean bad. So I switch the blind around to shoot through the mesh(shoot through window). At about 6:15PM two big toms and 3 hens were coming to me. I know they will walk right by me. At 40 yard I pick up my bow, at this point it comes to me how big of an idiot I am. I have the rage BH, and I took my two fix I blades out last night.

I decided to let them walk and not try and shoot. I hope they come back, LOL
I put my thermacel in my pack:eek:

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Gary, you put a rubber band on that rage and you can shoot it right thru the mesh. I tried it, it doesn't open going thru the mesh.

You weren't hunting at Coon Creek Hunt Club were ya?;)

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Germ buddy, thats just one for the memory bank....:D

atleast you THOUGHT about what you did, before shooting and finding out....i dont know how the shoot through mesh works, but i know a snyper will open by passing through a standard garbage bag. probably a good call on not shooting.

if you didnt spook them, and even if you did, sounds like your in a good spot and i will be looking at pics learning how to spoon a longbeard before long...

good luck!!

im heading to bed...and getting off the bowhunting forum...im not werthy to be here...me and my boomstick got a date with a longbeard in the morning! funny..its finals week and i find time to chase birds....:) dont worry...i been working on a paper all day so i could hunt tomorrow!

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

It was that bad, LOL I have about 40+ bites just on my hands, I forget my gloves:eek: I am putting some rubber bands on them when I log off:) Thank you

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

I was "going" to respect your wishes and not tell a soul. But...since the cat's outta the bag.....

You're a moron.:D

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Wel, you got that out of the way! Now go get them!

Good luck.

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Doing better than me Germ!!! I finally had birds answer and I made him leave his hens but he locked up at 80 yards and would not budge!! He finally lost intrest and went back to his hens but we shot some great footage of him spinning and gobbling!! Walt

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

DOH! Stupid skeeters.

Well at least you didn't bugger them up. Good luck next time out.

RE: Season opens Tomorrow for me in MI
 

Dont feel bad Germ.I had the biggest Turkey I have every seen 10 feet away and of course it was on my right side,No shot.I let him walk off turned and called him back.This time he came behind me.Again I let him walk off and moved again.Called and he hung up and would not come back.I was bragging that I had the perfect set up and he came in every way but the one I was set up for.Im in the moron club as well.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
