Man, that's a beautiful bird Josh.   Awesome color.    That is Whisteria behind you, rt.  I use it for a gobbling gauge in Ga. and always know that when the Whisteria is blooming the birds are going to be gobbling up a storm.  Sure is purdy. :gobble:

Dan that deer still haunts me and were going on 16 years since I missed him.  I guess sometimes it's the animals you don't take that you remember the most.  BTW I love your pictures!  Some oif them the backgrounds did indeed look framilar.  I really liked your Mountain pics.  Were those from your Place in Kentucky?

Nice lookin birds you got there.

It's a painful memory.  Dan and I were bowhunting up In Iowa back in November of 1995.  My dad lived up there and had permission on a 365 acre farm.  Anyway I had hung a loc in a bottom where I had seen a lot of bucks past years hunting that farm.  One evening about 40 minutes before dark I catch movement on the ridge above me.  It was a large racked buck with a maller buck coming down the ridge.  The get down into the bottom with me and there about 75 yards away and coming towards.  When the get about 40-50 yards from the the big buck stops, and looks directly at me. He staring right threw me.  He suspects somethings a miss.  He stares at me for what seems like 5 minutes.  He didn't move  amuslce he just stopped and stared.  I'm in turn staring back trying to stop my shaking.  I keep thinking any minute he's gonna booger he never did.  After what was probably the longest 5 minutes of my life he put his head down and continued toward me. The little basket rack buck with him, goes of to the right of him, and gets ahead of him.  The basket ends up walking under me, then goes behind me to work a scrape.  The Big buck also goes to a scrape 18 yards from me to me left but in front of my stand.  When he get there he is still facing me NO shot!  Then he starts to work the scrape and turns quartering away.  You could not ask for a better shot.  Anyway I blew it.  I shot right under his chest.  I had the buck of a lifetime less than twenty yards away and didn't capatalize.  This deer was easlily in the 160"s  I've seen a lot of deer over the years hunting up there and I promise this deer was 160 if he was an inch.  I shot a buck on that same farm a few years later that scored 144 3/8, and this deer I missed was bigger.  As I type this I'm looking at me 144, and easliy the buck I missed was bigger than him.   It was a privledge to see a deer of that caliber that close.  I would be lying if I said I'm totally over it.  It still stings a little.  Anyway that's the story.   Thanks for bringing it up DAN!  LOL!

I know you're using sights these days, rt??   and I've graduated to a compound. lol    Like I told you then it's the memories that count so consider it a blessing that you had the chance.   

Remember the midget pool player.   :TooFunny:   Now that's a memory.

Yep I've got sights , release even a new bow since then.  I'm completely modernized.  
Dad and I when Yote hunting with a bunch of those locals a couple of times, and Little Coop hunted with us.  The drive them like deer up there.   Anyway  Little Coop, (the pool playing midget), is something else to watch toting his mini 14 through the woods chasing song dogs.  It's one of the more funny things I've seen while hunting.

Rick,

I shot this gobbler on April 20th last spring. After years of hunting and close encounters this was my first turkey. Needless to say it was a day I'll never forget, especially after all the years I hunted hard and had nothing to show for it. Hopefully I can get a couple for the team this spring, gonna do my best.
