Congrats! (I couldn't get the pic to work for me, but oh well.) I just got my first with a bow a few weeks ago, so I know the feeling! My second came yesterday and it was just about as thrilling as the first.

Here's another pic of the same bird. I went out Saturday morning and called in about 7 gobblers. I had 3 come in first but got spooked. Then I had 4 walk past me at 10 yards in single file but I couldn't find my peep sight and they just kept walking. Then I had 2 come in and they looked like real beauties but I couldn't see any beards and then thought I saw one of thems looked about 3 or 4 inches. I hesitated, then the one turned and his beard was dragging the ground. I got excited and put the pin on him and shot. My whole blind jumped. I had shot thru the blind. I guess I didn't have the window down enough. Needless to say, they hauled. Then about 20 or 30 minutes later I had 2 more come in. I had checked the window and lowered it some but I guess not enough. Yes, I shot thru the window again. The first time I put 2 holes in it as the window was flapped over to the inside so 1 going in and 1 going out. The second time it skimmed the top but still put a good hole in it. I was bummed and felt like a real dumb---, but it was still a good day as I had my son with me and got to see lots of birds. I went to walmart and bought some camo fabric and sewed the blind back up. Went out today and couldn't get a gobble. Oh, well. I'm still pumped from the first one. I tried to upload some more pics but I guess they are too large.
