I'm hoping the rage 2 blades I have will do the job, cause that's what the next one will get shot with if I get the opportunity.
I've been going for head shots and today I just missed low a little. His head wasn't up so I'm suspecting I hit the breast since he was broadside.
I don't know, it's been frustrating and I doubt I'll go back out. Not frustrating from lack of action , but because of not bagging either bird. If I do go, I guess I'll take the gun. Just thought it would be really cool to get one with the bow.

Tough break Mike. I plan to be out next Saturday for my last attempt of the year. I still have a youth hunt to post. I was kind of hooing to get my older son out for one more try, but it just hasn't happened.
Good deal JD!
I may get out with the gun before this is all over. I can't let them win. I'm just gonna leave the bow at home so I don't just put holes in any more.

Had a few hens come in but no boys in tow. Went for a walk, heard one gobble. Called a few times to get a bead on him and of course he was across a very steep drainage. Tried to do a big circle but never heard him again. Walked to the back field and spotted a g obbler these Jake's and at least one hen. Wouldn't respond to any thing. Playing the waiting game now.
Sorry I didn't contribute a bird fellas. If one of those I stuck with the arrah would've been found we may have won. Too bad wounded birds don't count! Lol
It was fun guys.

Mike, head shots are nice because it's usually all or none. I suggest waiting till they turn their back though and either up the poop shoot at full strut or right in the middle of the back while walking. If broadside, above the wing and draw a line from the beard to the leg. The vitals are terribly small on a bird, so I prefer the back shots. But if you stick with the head shots, you have to use a head shot head, the guillotine or bullhead. Those blades give you a lot more room for error compared to a rage which you need to center punch to open... Next year man. Getting a bow bird is awesome!
