To make a long story short, we called and one jake strutted right to our decoy set-up we had 20 yards out. As soon as he got in front of the jake decoy I sent a bolt flying and hit him right where it counted, he didn't even go 5 yards and he keeled over. I ran out as fast as I could to collect my bird cause there were other ones gobbling not too far away. I no sooner got back inside the blind and two more jakes came running right up to our decoy set-up. Pops shouldered his Ithaca 12 gauge and his bird went down right where he stood. Our hunt was over at 6:30 am that opening morning. This was my father's first turkey ever, and my second with the crossbow. |

Now that is pretty awesome. You must of had things scouted out pretty good! It feels pretty good to share hunting time with family. Traditionally I think that has always been a big part of hunting. :) |

Yep, that's the way I feel when I;m hunting with family. The way I take it is when I take my father out hunting with me, I'm giving back to him what he gave me when I was young. My father is my favorite hunting partner of all time. If he ever ends up in a wheel chair, I'll wheel him into the woods if I have to just so I can see that smile on his face from being out in the woods. And just seeing that smile on his face, will make my day. :) |

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a bowel movement by the clean end
