young disabled man from my youth group just left... I put up a blind for him so he could deer hunt this youth season...
we saw nine, including a shooter eight-pointer, but he never gave us a shot... young fella took a 110 yard shot at a doe, and missed clean... I told him if'n yer gonna miss, miss big... I can't abide chasin' a wounded animal...
he had fun, that's important...
the highlight of the evenin' fer me was watchin' a covey of 14 quail pass by at 10 yds...
g'nad; good thing you did there, helping the young man. 110 yds is a right goodly distance, the dang bead covers most of the deer. I'd need a scope to shoot at that range now days.
I hate chasing a wounded animal too, I never shoot unless I'm sure the first shot will kill cleanly and quickly. With my marksmanship that means not being further out than my confidence level, which is 100 yds.
I am pretty impressed with your turkey...haven't heard of one being killed by bow until your post. Good going!
And happy Thanksgiving, of course!
I'm clearly not going to have a wild one to eat, but will at least put a store bought one in the smoker. 'Course, that is pretty great too.
