Dedicated Turkey season

Well the turkey's got the best of me this year.  This year i was going to be dedicated to hunt turkey's with my bow and not pull the gun out of the safe.  I did just exactly that and I struck out.  There were several times I was tempted but I resisted.  I had a awesome time trying to get a long beard in range but could not close the deal.  Opening day of turkey season Kent and my self set u before daylight and stayed on the edge of a field where I had been seeing turkey's for a week straight. The turkey's were showing up from noon until dark in this field.  Around 3pm we had a hen come walking through with a tom just out of bow range and over a little rise, just would not present itself o my side of the rise.  Tukey's1 Mack 0.  Set up on that field 3 more times with any luck.  Decided to take a day off from work and head to Owen County where Jackson killed his bird youth weekend and give it a try but the birds hung up at 80 yards and would not come any closer.  I had a great time and logged about 30 hours in the blind trying to get one with my bow.  I guess you can say the dumb ole turkey out smarted this Tennessee boy. So I guess a Tennessee boy is not smarter than a turkey this year.  I'm either really dedicated or real stupid for not switching from by bow to my gun.  All I an say is wait until this fall or next spring.  I think I will stick wit my bow until I get one.  I challenge all the BAREBONES crew and staff to do the same thing.  Let's make a video of just bow kills except for the kids hunts.  Shoot straight and have fun. Now it's time to start tournament shooting and getting ready for deer season.
