hutchies Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Well guys I got out Saturday at about 8am when the rain stopped and got up in my tree. Here came the rain again. Ended up sitting in the rain for 3 hours. That afternoon I went over to Blue River and did a little hunting. Got set up about 2 p.m. Around 5:30 I saw a flock of Turkeys coming my way. They were about 50 yards when I spotted them. I was sitting there thinking one of these suckers gives me a shot and it will be going home with me. They get to 30 yards. Go to draw and a hen sees me so all 8 of the hens run behind a tree about 50 yards from me and started calling the yearling to them. I knew it was either a yearling or nothing so I found an opening that I guessed was 45 yards. When the yearling went behind the tree I drew and when it stepped in the opening it stopped and stuck its head straight up in the air. I put my 40 yard pin on it's head and drilled it. All the hens surrounded seeing what was going on and finally after about 10 minutes I had to get down and run them off. Anyway got back in the tree but did not see anything else the rest of the afternoon. I definately picked up alot of confidence on that shot. I shot almost everyday for months before season and I have never felt so comfortable taking a shot at anything before. It was like 2nd nature and my body took over and I was along for the ride. Oh by the way J.B. I thought about you while I was out there sitting in the tree and the 30mph winds gusting. Here is a pic of the head shot I made WARNING: This is not for the weak at stomach. It is graphic so if you can't handle it don't click the link. Head Shot Here is another pic: [image][/image] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossySNPR Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: No deer but............. Nice shot man, if you can hit a yearling in the head I guess that gives you an early jump start to confidence in turkey season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffy Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: No deer but............. If you can head shoot turkeys then the deer will quiver with fear!
