Chasing Tom

Unread postby Jeff G » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:05 am

Been watching a group of Tom's over the last week. Pretty much had them patterned. Decided to take a half day vacation and get out since the fall season opened back up yesterday. Set up on an edge where I had been seeing them move through. I picked out one of the bigger ones. Let the arrow fly. Dropped on the spot. Relieved. 8 1/2 inch beard, 1 inch spurs.

Sweet deal. Good shooting. Those buggers are not easy to draw on!

I really had to show control the other night. Had 4 nice gobbies in the plot at 15 yards but passed the shot since it was my last night bow hunting deer. Fortunately it paid off!

Congrats

Very cool. Nice bird.
