Title: Pressures Off
Post by: Onpoint on April 07, 2013, 06:11:52 PM
Had some luck this morning on some WMA ground in Tennessee. And boy did I ever need this bird. I missed one yesterday at 30 yards. After workin my butt off trying to work these henned up gobblers and I finally get one in 12:15 an then I miss... But it all came together today and got one around  9 this mornin. He had a 9.5" beard, 1.25 and 1.0625 spurs, and a little under 19 lbs.
Here's the tree I slapped yesterday.(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o744/19onpoint85/5AD819CA-F914-4BAB-863C-126DC88D9382-7300-00000697C0D00B74_zpsd8862220.jpg)
And here' he is today (http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o744/19onpoint85/AB162CD8-230E-48DD-91B3-2ADCE0CB14B8-7933-0000077A2D157A5E_zps74d8ebf6.jpg)
And here's what the Turkey Thug 5's will do (http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o744/19onpoint85/274D88C6-3B22-416C-B618-33457C727472-8156-000007B8E0F14DFA_zpsaf6159c6.jpg)

3" turkey thug 5's with a sumtoy choke. That tree was just a few yards in front of me and I knew it was gonna be tight, but I thought I could slide right past it. WRONG.. I guess in the excitement of about to smack my first one of the year I just pulled the shot a little, hell, i don't know what happened to be honest with ya.

Congrats!

I feel your pain on missing! I missed one about an hour ago and it's never fun but there's no better way to get over a miss than to lay one down the next time out!
