USAFbowhunter Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 The wife finally decided to go out hunting with me this last Sat. We get out to the spot a little later than I wanted since I hunt public land I like to get there really early so I can get my spot. I knew there were some nice birds in the area I wanted to hunt but there have been two other guys that have been hunting it hard. But I was lucky that the Air Show was going on this last weekend and most everyone was down there for that. I had my area all to myself. Me and the wife set up and it gets day light and we don't see or hear anything. So at around 6:50 we get up and move out of the woods onto the powerline easement food plot and I see a tom and 3 hens crossing the road so we work our way up the tree line to cut them off. They weren't making a sound and by 7:10 I had him on the ground with a 40 yard shot. He is my biggest bird so far and only my 3rd bird in 3 years of hunting. He was 18.8 LBS, had a 9 3/4 inch beard, and his spurs were one inch long on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
