As our spring season is coming to an end in two weeks, I wonder if I’ll have to wait until fall for another shot at a turkey. Our deer archery and fall turkey seasons run together and last fall I had turkeys crawling all over me!

Been very tempted to send one through my hen decoy hammer! Even thought about filling her with great stuff foam and using as a target, but she ‘talked’ a big bird in for me to miss a few weeks ago, so she lives for now.

in reply to: Where Would You Live? #23226

If I had my choice and the wife would go along with it, we’d live in northern Colorado. I’ve always had a thing for Cache La Poudre Canyon for the wild trout fishing and I’ve seen enough Mule Deer, Moose and Elk there to keep me busy for a lifetime. I don’t believe there’s another place on earth for me.

in reply to: Bareshaft FOC? #21765

Welcome to posting! I’m sure some of the guys and gals here will be more than helpful to you on this topic than myself, but I’ll give it a crack. I would think that determining FOC will require mounting heads, especially on wood shafts due to the removal of material involved in tapering the front end to receive the points/adapters or anything else you plan to use on the finished shaft. Just my opinion. Happy building!

Man, you’re a machine! I’m still the proud owner of two unfilled tags, (only two allowed per hunter in the spring).

The deer don’t seem to mind me sitting around the woods- I just wish the turkeys would be this content around me.

+1 on 3Rivers. I used their chart in selecting aluminums and went for 2016’s unseen and unshot and they are spot on for my bow.

Yeah everything’s pretty green here- winter was kind of a joke. Thankfully though, at least tis year we’re having a normal kind of spring. Last year we were freezing one day and blistering hot the next. The limb wrap is working wonderfully, at least on the backyard range.:wink:

Wapiti, that is awesome! These birds are a very sharp customer breed!! I can only hope that my day too will come. Going out tomorrow morning to try to beat the weekend warriors!

Nice Work!

The first is the now freshly trimmed ‘window’ where the strutter once stood safely. The rest are photos from some of my other ‘hideouts’. I try not to call them ‘blinds’ because I don’t spend much time throwing a few dead limbs or scrub here and there. I also fixed my limb issue on the bow by wrapping the limbs with some camo athletic bandage. Very nice how that stuff sticks to itself and is not too bulky. It added some noise reduction in the string/limb slap department as well.

LOL!! I’m working on it! I’ll get some pictures of the area as well- and hopefully of a bird too!

Thanks! I like to try putting experiences into words. Nothing like having somewhere to share it.

So we went out and were unable to connect, not for lack of birds, but more for lack of interested birds. As soon as we pulled up there was a flock in the field we’ve dubbed the ‘favorite’ of the birds. One big full strut Tom, a couple of Jakes and a host of hens along for the show. Going to stay after them and possibly pass on the blind over the next few outings. Hoping to stalk/intercept on the treelines. We found out which direction the roost is from there, now it’s all about getting in close and staying in place. (Fingers Crossed with an arrow nocked)
