Turkey Day Ride/ Turkey Day Hunt

A cold morning for the Turkey Day Ride.....23 degrees with a snow covered trail at 8am greeted 28 riders for this years throw down before gorging ourselves with all the toppings of a great Thank Giving dinner.

Basso was the first man down that I got too see.....many more of us went down after that:)

After stuffing myself at thee in laws I went out for a afternoon snow covered hunt. What a perfect setting for hunting...a lite snow was falling a light wind blowing and I didn't even have my bow off the ground before seeing my first two does. I let those 2 go by pulled my bow up was still setting up and here comes 4 more...holy shit I haven't even sat down and all the action is going on. After the last one went under my stand I grabbed my bow...drew it back and released at 30yrds......a very loud thwap.....and I hit her in the fucking shoulder blade a few inches too far forward:( She'll live and I won't be boning out a deer this morning....found my arrow...still smiling from ear too ear....what a great day:) Back out today after we set up our Xmas tree:)
two of the second group, these little boogers just wanted to play around directly under my stand
sniffing my foot prints
smiling ear too ear, even with a bad shot:)
