Title: WV Gobbler Down!
Post by: hitman on April 25, 2011, 06:37:00 PM
I got a big gobbler the first morning with my Black Widow PSAX Recurve with wooden arrow & Wensel Woodsman Broadhead at 15 yds.  He weighed 25 lbs, 10" beard and 1 5/8" spurs.  He was my biggest gobbler ever!  (http://images.imagelinky.com/1303770891.JPG) (http://images.imagelinky.com/1303770891.JPG)

I was hunting out of a blind and several gobblers sounded off all around me. None of them were very close but after they hit the ground they all shut up except 1 bird that gobbled 1 time. ABout 20 minutes later I saw him working his way toward me. I had did a little calling earlier. As he was working his way in 3 deer moved by me between me and my decoys. Just then he came waltzing in to my decoys. I was scared that the deer was going to smell me and spook. Luckily they did not and I made the 15 yard shot between the deer. He went right down where he was standing , flopping. What a rush.

Sitting here in my blind the second morning of WVa season. It's very windy. Just had a gobbler slip in silent and eyeballed my setup but apparently he was not bold enough to come on in. Just needed 5 more yards and would have had a good shot. OH well it's only 8:30, lot of time left. I'm hunting a different place today.
