30 minutes in I had to defend myself at 4 steps on the ground no blind. More pics n story later. Had to get "hands on" to get the tag on him. This pic he thinks he's hidden... Had to go spider monkey.

Wasnt going to hunt till Saturday but landowners called this morning saying a bird was keeping them awake with gobbling. So I dropped the boy off at preschool and headed to the farm. I had 90 minutes before i needed to pick him up so put on my camo and grabbed the reaping recurve. Walked into a known strut location and sumply tucked up against a briar bush and yelped occasionally. After 30 minutes I srood up to get blood into my legs and saw a red head turn the corner. I yelped and hunkered down and hid behind the fan. The bird took a good look and charged from 150 yards wanting the intruder out of his zone. I puckered up and braced myself for a potential raping. .. At 10 yards he went from half strut to full strut and started a sidle step towards me. At 4 yards I drew and shot in one quick motion. I hit him back but the arrow angled forward hard. I figured guts. He ran off with his head down and his fan fully out but it was shaking really bad as he went over the hill. I gave him 25 minutes and looked not finding anything but a drop tine shed. I backed out to get the boy and cane back a couple hours later when the Landowners cos watch the boy for me. A short walk later I found him right where I expected in a big thick area tucked under the log. He was alive so I was to close for missiles so I switched it to guns (you love a good TopGun reference and you know it). A very helter skelter game of tag ensured which ended with him getting a boot stomping. Came back to the van to find my boy had found a nice 5 point shed on his own. Little turd.
