Solo today....

[Guru]

Cade was at a friends house today...so I went out by myself to pass the time before I had to pick him up.  Had my 63# Kwyk Styk with me.

Stand that I m-m-missed that big doe out of at 7yds. last opening day...
•  


It was a target rich environment...
•  
•  

All the south facing slopes were tore up, especially under the Oaks...
•  


62 paces...I saw it , and couldn't pass it up...
•  
•  

Found this old contraption...pretty cool!

I saw the stand and thought, "That's set up the wrong way.....I can't shoot from that".........then I remembered you shoot from the wrong side!!!!!

Although my time in the woods with Cade is so very special, being solo sometimes can be very refreshing......

Heck it was just a stump, so I pulled up and shot! I had to pace it off after the outcome.

No gobbles, but I heard every other turkey sound imaginable!

I bet if I was out early in the morning I would have heard some gobbling

That looks like fun.That contraption looks cool to

[Kenneth]

Awesome!  I love the before and after pic with the big ol' hole through the stump and the arrow sticking in the smaller stump.  Looks like you got a Double!!!

Looks like a very nice day in the woods with some real nice shooting too!

[TimDougan]

Curt nice pics as were the ones with Cade. Great times can be had with and without loved ones in the great outdoors. Some times a fellow needs some alone time. When you get back home you know how blessed you really are! TD.

That is an awesome shot.  I can't imagine being able to hit anything at that far.  Great shooting and thanks for sharing the time with us.

great pics and great day!..wish we had some snow down here in Mexico..
good luck with the turkeys..

[FerretWYO]

Good stuff Curt.

Revisiting successful spots is always fun.  Neat how the memories flood back to you again. You can see the deer moving and it almost gives me a bit of buck fever again!

That small hole in the dirt of the last stump is a perfect target.  Can't shoot low or you hit the vine.  I love finding tricky stump shooting targets.  We do that on Tom Porter's (Gatekeepers) 3D range and it is a blast.

Even though you might not take the 62 paces shot on an animal it sure feels cool to know you've hit from there before.

When you going to come over to Tracy's again?  Got to meet up with you one of these days.

Nice shooting....that old contaption was once a thing of beauty and precision....cool

[bawana bowman]

Curt, sure would like to find a flock that size around here. Would save me a lot of work! I've been known to shoot a few turkeys you know.
If you make it back down this way again send me an e-mail or have Don get in touch with me. I'll tell you the story of how I got those turkeys in 1988.

good day out
