I connected with my first spring gobbler wiyh a bow this morning. It was about as intense as a hunt can get. Shot him at 5 yards with the gobbler guilitione. I have some great video

Congrats and some great footage!!
I crossbow hunted yesterday without getting any gobblers within range. I've been setting up my decoys closer than norm but after seeing how close your decoys were set... I can pull them even tighter to the blind. 5 yds... man thats up close & personal. Again congrats on your first bow kill.

Whoops, that guillotine blade hangs down a little farther than a regular broadhead, huh Mike?:eek:;) Did it cut the blind? Great footage and bird. Congrats.

Congrats on a nice gobbler with a bow!! It is my plan when I get to hunt myself to take the bow instead of the 870. I'll be spending most of my time taking my kids but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Hey man, congratulations. That is one awesome accomplishment. I know how hard they are to kill with a bow and that is something to be proud of. Congratulations again on a job well done.

I just caught that, didn't realize I had hit the blind.
Thanks, now I have a great excuse for missing at 5 yards.

Great hunt. That's some heart pounding action right there. I've been hunting for a few years now and have never had anything close to that much excitement. What a great way to spend a morning. Congratulations!
