layin on the smackdown Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hey everyone!!! I havent been on much since i resigned from my job, but i had an interview down in Effingham IL last weekend, and also had the opportunity to take my future brother in law turkey hunting...He's been out chasing turkeys a few times in the past, but has come up empty so far............Also, i have managed to modify my gobbler decoy with a few small pieces from the hardware store, a jake fan from my first bird and a chalk box. I turned him into a jake decoy with a real jake fan that can be raised and dropped with the pull of a string - i named him Kenny and he is AWESOME!!! Alright, we started out in the blind for the first two hours, and i decided we needed to make a move - I was in charge of calling, taping, and working the decoy - John was just suppose to stay still and some how pull off getting to full draw and making a good shot without getting busted... Check it out....First clip is from where i am sitting second clip is from his view point....Its his first turkey ever!!! This was down in Marion County IL on Saturday April 10th. Let me know what you think....And good luck to the rest of you!!! If this needs to be moved, go for it...i just put it in here since it is bow hunting.

The Kid Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 awesome video but why is there a guy in front on the bow hunter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 awesome video but why is there a guy in front on the bow hunter? We were challenged with time and not alot of cover, so we just did what we had to do to get it done...The original plan was to have him in front of me, but that gobbler came out of no where and he came fast.

redkneck Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Glad to see you back in a big way Dan. I'll have to watch the rest of the video when I get off work. I'd love to take one with a bow one day, but here lately I cant kill one with a 50 BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Awesome video, you couldn't ask for a better bird esp with a first turkey AND a bow shot. Wasn't the best angle I dont suppose for the shot and you, but I'm sure that wasn't the intention. Congratulations to both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 You two had an awesome hunt! That was really cool to see and hear the excitement! Congrats to both of you on a successful hunt. There is no reason to point out where the shooter is and the camera man. I know Dan probably knew it before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 That was pretty cool, Dan. Congrats on a plan coming together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartonman Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I loved both angles, esp. the shooter...that totally rocked.....al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12-point Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 GREAT HUNT. Some ppl may get caught in the moment but you did great i trust myself with a bow when my buddy is that close and he trusts me. Dont let them give you a hard time bc your a hunter you see everything before it happens otherwise you would have shot the decoy haha..

m gardner Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 That's a nice bird, especially for the bow. I have a feeling you guys had a ball doing it too. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 i see what people are talking about. the shot was a bit in the direction of the other hunter. all in all great job smoking that gobbler though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
