Title: Colorado Turkey Down - With Pic!
Post by: Over&Under on April 13, 2008, 02:31:00 PM
Well, with last year leaving me empty handed, this year I was bound to make up for past mistakes, namely passing on close shots on camera at a jake, in hopes for a big boy.

The first legal bird in the camera was in trouble.

He is not a big dude, but sure was a heck of a lota fun!!

Shot him opening morning, from my new blind, with my good friend Sean (ironhide) behind the camera.  Thanks again Sean!!!!  Your longbeard is next!     :thumbsup:    

Here is a pic, I will be submitting the video in hopes to make it on the next TG video.    :pray:

Way to go been on birds everyday out down here.  Trying to get one on film stalking.  Got to withing 10 yards this am but couldn't get a shot cause of some hens.  I love stalking them in the little canyons down the road!  Good luck on your buddys bird

Good job Jake.  Hey I think I may have a couple of your arrows.  When the snow started coming off the range it was like an Easter egg hunt on the 3-D range.  GTs, orange wraps and white shields.  Let me know.

Jason - no problem, glad you liked the photo, I will be shooting my Kanati for many years to come, I cannot be more pleased with it!

Mark - that arrow combo sounds familiar, I will try and catch you at the work day or something and check it out.  I had another fellow find one of mine the other day when I was up there.
Thanks for the heads up!!

BTW - does anyone know what the group of feathers is called I aimed at are called?
