Three strikes and your out.Went out late thismorning.I
know there are birds where I go. Six o'clock I unzip my
blind,put in my things.I unzip my shooting window,put
close pins on it to hold it and screen up.Hang my bow
nock an arrow and look out the window. :Here comes
a big tom
.I say you gotta be kidding
I draw my bow the arrow makes a sound as the mole skin
has worn through.The bird hears it and is getting antsy.
I can't see because of my glasses so let the bow down.I
take off my glasses and draw again split my 20-30 pin
for 25 yards and shoot.A feather or two and he runs then
walks away going cluck-cluck or maby cluck you ;D.I said thats
it I am done.I put everything back in my truck took down
my blind and left.
The only good part of the day was after that I drove over to
my sons neighbor that was at my sons for dinner last night.
He was harrowing one of the corn fields and saw an antler
sticking out of the ground.It was his second pass with the
harrow.He knew we popped a tire two years ago.I asked him
what he did with it.He said he thought it had six points
.I said
I have to see this antler.He said he put it on a fence post
and would get it fore me.I was in the barn at 7:00 and he said
you must be looking for the antler.I said yes and he told me
where he put it.I get there and nothing
I was bummed till
I saw it in the grass where it fell.One look and I knew it was
the same deer two years later.NICE.
