1st day of my season. Had a gobbler roasted 100 yards from blind this morning. Thought he would fly down by me, he went the other way into neighbors field which they spread manure on in the last week. Along with him 3 other gobbler and a whole bunch of hens are out there. The waiting game begins.

Well I educated a longbeard. Gave him a shoe job. 1st time using crossbow. Right after that I had 3 more gobbler in food plot but wouldn't shoot at them until I knew I missed 1st one. Hope they come back. Hear some gobbling now.

Well I should be posting a picture with me behind a dead turkey. Shot a really big Tom at 2:30 with crossbow. Thought the shot was perfect. Turkey flipped over flopped around and ran into woods and wet swamp. Looked for 3 hours and no bird. Hanging up the crossbow and taking the shotgun out tomorrow after the rain stops. Saw at least 8 Tom's and a dozen hens today.

Either one of them would of found it. |

I got a late start this morning, but I got my Frog Togs on to protect me from the light rain/ mist. My CZ shotgun is loaded with Winchester shells. I am packing in my Knight and Hale calls in a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack. See I'm totally ready for my own TV show, I got down the most important part...plugging the sponsers.  |

I'm not big on using bows for turkeys. Just seems too many people lose them even with good shots. Bastards are tough.
