The new (to me) Browning Cobra I, an excellent 50" bow, great for in the blind.

My view from inside looking out.
Well better luck next time.
All pictures and video were taken with a Palm Treo Cell Phone/PDA.
Its been a slow season here too.
yep, so far I've heard exactly three gobbles this year. and that was after two hunts of silence.
I've only got out one day so far. Didn't hear any gobbles but I was able to sneak up on 6-8 toms and dispatch one with a 12guage bow. :) I've got Hope for two weeks and Friday/Saturday off so I'll be chasing them hard with a bow.
I haven't been able to get out yet but I am hoping to go Friday morning.

Hoping to go out Sat. if it is dry.
