wooly Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Me and ol' "Turkenstein" woke up at the witches hour to get an early jump into our honey hole!Before the sun came up, things were awefully quiet, but eventually I started to hear some yells from the ladies as the branches were now ghoulishly silhouetted against the morning sky. Turkenstein was 30yds in front of me keeping a watchfull eye out for that other monster of a bird that has been haunting me for the last few weeks. Suddenly the silence was broke as the hellish beast let out his evil morning scream from the tree tops! The tension was building, and neither me nor Turkenstein dared to move an inch. The demon finally swooped down and collected his flock of virgins. Like ghosts, they all vanished before our eyes. I assume he took them off to the dungeon to have his way with them as he has so many times before!I looked at Turkenstein to see what we should do next, when out of the silence we heard a blood curdling scream from below us. We knew what had to be done... we had to be brave... we had to pursue the creature before he disappeared back in his lair. We took chase and headed the giant off. It was now or never. With nerves of steel, Turkenstein spread his chest and stood tall to his nemesis! As his rival appeared and approached, they engaged in a brief stare down before the demon swaggered over to Turkenstein and literally spewed venom in his face..."GRRRROOOBBBBBLE GOBBBLE GRRROOOOBBBBBLE....", rendering him motionless and petrified! It was now up to me to protect my friend who had been so brave, and sacrificed so much for me! I said a quick prayer, and without hesitation I cocked the hammer on my gun of holy goodness, and peppered the devil in the neck with my blessed BB's! Together, me and Turkenstein had finally vanquished the woodland warlord, and dragged his carcass through the forest for all Gods other creatures to see! Today I was "The Chosen One"! You could hear the other creatures celebrate when I announced Thunderdome was finally dead and..."We finally get to sleep in!" Oh yeah, stats.... 9 1/2" beard... 1 1/8" spurs... no idea on the weight. Probably 65-70 lbs,lol 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve863 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So Wooly, was that your second shot fired from that gun that you recently bought for a mere $50? I reckon you are 2 for 2!! As I said last time, there is Wooly and then there's the rest of you about 9 miles behind. Wooly probably don't even need a gun or bow to kill em. He can call them up real close and just grab them and wring their necks. Why waste a shell or arrow?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooly Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks guys! It's been a looooooooooong time since I killed a bird this nice! I know I don't look too excited but I am.... I'm just sleepy,lol I've been patterning this dude for a while now because it was the only way I was gonna kill him either right off the roost, or over his mile journey around the block. Today I got in front of him at my second set and there was nowhere for him to run. He was dead by 6:55am. The fake worked like a charm, and yes Steve, that $50 gun did too,lol ....and if Paula asks, yes, I was wearing shorts again! I gotta admit, I almost hated to pull the trigger on him after he beat up on me so bad all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutdoors Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Nice bird! Are you using a Photo Fan to spread the tail? I love mine, they work great. Looks like a really pretty spot to hunt too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alloutdoors Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah I've used sticks in the past too.
