Title: Gotta keep the bow handy...
Post by: kbaknife on October 07, 2011, 06:20:00 PM
I dressed it with an Andersen Forge knife - does that make it ok to post it here?    ;)

I'm lucky enough to live back in the woods and my shop is in the woods as well.
Once Oct.1st rolls around, I've learned to keep a bow in the shop and one eye out the door!
Put lots of venison in the freezer that way.
I've been watching this bunch of turkeys stroll up and down my driveway for the last few weeks, so I went and got my turkey tag yesterday. In Illinois it's acceptable to shoot either sex in the fall during deer archery season.
I've been noticing this "Jake" running with this bunch of hens and chicks, and waited until I had a chance at him today walking past my shop.
About half way through cleaning "him" I noticed that he didn't have any spurs, but had a nice 7" beard!
Oops! Wait a minute!
I just got one of the 15% of hens that have beards, and it's a nice one at that. That kink is in there naturally, so I guess it makes her non-typical?   :rolleyes:  
Now for some venison under the ol' apple tree........

Nice Work, now to get a deer the same way. This time hide behind the press.

That's funny, I was going to comment on your camo too Karl!  Hell I can't arrow one from my Double Bull blind!

That's the nicest beard from a hen I have ever seen!

Karl I love the camo, simple yet stylish. Now guys can call for knife advice and to book a hunt in the "behind the power hammer" blind or the "behind the motorcycle" blind.   :biglaugh:   nice shooting and happy Thanksgiving

I should tell you about the "living room blind" and the upstairs "spare bedroom blind" as well.

I took these this morning at 7:15:
