Tanner and I went out one more time today.....Lots of action, but because it's bow only, he didn't get one...... :(

Long beard walked within 20 yards of the blind, but on the wrong side of pop-up. This old guy came from a long ways and when he committed down the hill, I thought we had him (I was calling from above and he walked right pass me towards the decoys). When he got even with the DSD jake & Decption hen, he just half strutted and kept walking......So close, but yet so far..... :p

Few pix from today....5 jakes & 1 long chasing a hen, that's a wood duck in the pond, San Diego gray squirrel, a bearded jenny, the monster long that skirted Tanner, and a hen with 1 poult.....We did see another hen with 5 or 6.... 8)


ps.....I have video of the big boy too.....You tubin' it..... ;)

Wow that's a big boy! Too bad Tanner couldn't arrow it. I'm hoping I can arrow one tomorrow, fingers crossed.
 
Here's the video.......This is a great gobbler and he didn't get that way from being stupid!

Gen,

Everything were super leery of the decoys.....With a shotgun we would've been fine, but with a bow, it's almost imperative that you use them.....Good luck.
