Carrying a fishing reel and spider wire not to primitive. Can you just see indains setting around the evening fire. Hey pass the old my reels kinda sounds ruff. Don't give up (PERSESTANCE) I sould have had 20 self bow gobblers instead of 15 I've had 5 bow shot gobblers I could'nt find Really 26 I've missed 6 others.
Theres no more feeling of disscust than getting up throwing on your pack walking 1/2 hour in the dark mostly up hill for weeks. I've did this for the intier season before. Missing when the chance dose come or worse sending and arrow through him. So I know the rejected feeling. Makes me want to go get the 3 1/2 and go kill that sucker. But I was taught by graddad never to give up. Just go back smarter than you went yesterday. Your luck can change with a gobble.
Look at it as a learning exsperance. I don't just watch the gobbler disapear and mark the spot like deer hunting. Right away after the shot I'm following the bird if he's not floping. If he's hit really good he won't fly but run not that if he flys forget it. He's runs because he's thinking of a place to hind. I've found 3 ,1 bow shot and 2 shot gun that flew away.. So don't give up if he flys away it can happen.
he first place he can find to hide he will. Either he could'nt fly or he's aready looking for a place to hide. It will be under some brush,tree top, next to alog likely. If he picks a log he'll awqays be on the oppecent side from the direction he came from. It's not you or your stone points it's defintly arrow placement. Nothing but luck for the gobbler. He'll die or a preator will get him. Awounded turkey dos'nt survive to long. How any wonded turkey you see limbinng around. I'm sure it happens but thats just the gobblers luck hanging with him.
When this happens any more it just makes me go right back at it with a renewed vingens. PATENCE AND PRESENTANCE is the 2 of the most impotant things a gobbler or buck hunter have to learn to constencey score.
Don't give up your already WAY farther along and know that special feeling of doing something that not many will even atempt if they could. So throw that pack on and go back tommorow.
YOU CAN DO IT
