Illinois archery opener, my first turkey hunt with a bow. Flock of jakes point blank..........MISS!
The good:
1. Got 5 or 6 jake gobbles out of them. Always cool, especially in the fall.
2. Watched em be juvenile delinquents for a long time before they got in range.
3. My calling gets better every time out. Talked to another flock for a long time later on.
4. Scouting paid off.
5. I know where they roost and tomorrows another day.
6. Blessed to be out there and enjoy the woods and fields.
The Bad:
1. The shot! Jeeminy, that was bad.
2. Got soaked later in the morning.
3. Lost my favorite knife pocket knife.
4. Pouring rain now so they get a reprieve until tomorrow.
The Ugly:
1. See #1 above.
2. See #1 above.
3. See #1 above.
