Well, I went hunting at a buddies place near where I live for a few days to close out the year. It turned out pretty well.

Yesterday morning I shot 2 pigs. One was a pretty big sow that I thought I made a real good shot on. The blood trail was scant at best, and I never found her. Then I shot a boar. He didn't make it 30yds!

yesterday afternoon, I had a bunch of gobblers come in and I made a great shot on this one. This is the first turkey I've shot in probably 3yrs!

[attachment=2,msg2986551]

This is how I found him. He only went about 10yds. I shot him facing straight away with his head down feeding.

He had a beard right at 10", and Spurs about 1".

Then, this morning, I got a nice doe to finish out the hunt.

There were also a few blunders too! Wednesday afternoon I shot a big doe and screwed the whole thing up. I don't know what I did? Not sure if she ducked, or I just shot high, but I hit her waaaay high above the backbone. Of course, I never found her!  I hate making bad shots on critters!!! Then this morning, I missed over does twice before connecting on the one I got. All of these were from the same blind. It is just almost too small for my longbow, and it changes the way I have to draw. I don't know if that was part of the problem or not, but I always blame me for screwups unless I have good proof that something else was in play! Anyway, I was disappointed in that part of it, but in the end a good time was had!

Nice going Bisch. I hope your new year starts better than mine. I missed a fallow spiker at 7am new years day.

As for your blunder, you didn't happen to hit the ground with the bottom limb by any chance?  ;) :laughing:

I tried filming hints for a couple years a long time ago. It's too much of a PITA for this old guy to keep up with!

Congratulations Bisch.  You're still setting the bar high.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.
