Oh yeah, Trying to decide on a new bow this year.

You know I'm a factory rep for Darton right?  You know I'll have some factory demos for like 40% under MAP cost.
Rex Darlington is a genius.  Anybody that uses the 2 track cam has to pay Him a premium.

Actually Hoyt, PSE, Bowtech, Elite, Athens, New Breed, Obsession...and many more uses one of Darton's cam pattens.  That said Rex is  a great guy who is generous with leasing his pattens to the industry.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Well I went to the local and shot so many I couldn't make my mind up. I was stuck between the elite energy, bowtech prodigy, icon,and the carbon knight. I came home not knowing witch one to get. Well I waited 2 weeks and went back and shot them again. Well I decided I my next now would be a bowtech. I cane home and started looking around on eBay and I saw a new knight for $250 cheaper than the shop. So I purchased it and I'm very pleased with this bow.

I have a 2010 Hoyt Katera, been a fine bow for a long time. Then I screwed up and shot an Obsession Fusion 6 two weeks. Now I am scurrying to scrape up the cash to get that bow. That thing was amazing

Who chasing fall turkey

oh, yeah, am looking forward to archery opener oct. 1
got bow and gun permits. gun season is 9 days at end of october. fall turkey not as much fun to me as chasing spring gobblers, but it's still turkey hunting and great to get out in the woods
hope to spend more time bow turkey hunting this year, but after going a few times early in season that usually gets pushed to the backburner by bow deer hunting and fall fishing

got my first bow tom last night on what was planned to be a combo deer/turkey hunt
saw a hen out in the field while slipping into the natural ground blind i made a few years ago. got in undetected, settled in and thought i'd try and call her in. made a hen yelp and nothing. kicked up the volume on an assembly yelp and get a gobble from behind me in the timber!
so i make a gobbler yelp on the gooserbat bacon and hear birds walking in the leaves along with soft clucks and purrs
then a tom steps out into the bean field, follows the timberline toward me and stops less than 10 yards away. the NAP gobbler getter really put the hammer to him. stumbled 10 yards and dropped
had a 7 inch beard and half inch rounded spurs, a 1 1/2 year old bird
i am really starting to like bacon, a very versatile call  :turkey2:
