I went but should of stayed in bed!!!!!!!! I had a rough morning left the house going to the woods. I seen a doe standing by the road. It looked like it came out of the holler I was going to. So I get to were I park and loaded my x-bow. Start easing down the field to the woods and I hear something it sounds like my bow. So I look at it don't see nothing. Take about ten more steps and thud bow just went on and stuck the arrow in ground abut 20 feet in front of me!!!! So looked at it again and decide just to wait till I get were I am going to sit to load it again. Well I started down thru the woods with flash light and looking at the ground there is some ginseng find three more on the way just little two prongs so I pulled tops off and keep on going. Got were I wanted and sit down and reloaded my bow. Sitting there minding my on business about to get day light and veroom there goes my bow again arrow still going throw the woods I guess. When it went off they was a turkey flew from a tree near were the arrow had went! So there I sat with nothing i could shoot if a deer or turkey was to climb in my lap! Because I was not about to load it again!I decide I was just going to sit there for a while so I could put my cam out when it got good and day light. Then would you know it they where 6 more turkey roosting in tree in front of me one was a gobbler with about 7 or 8 inch beard. So I watch them fly out. they got with in about 30 yards and all I could do is watch. So I thought they had left so I started sneaking down to salt and mineral lick and they took off. I sad I will just sit back down a few minutes. Then about ten minutes I hear them cluck and purring. I decide I try hitting my call a time or two just to see what would happen. Thought I was going to have to fight a hen i made a couple cluck like they were and bang the next thing I know she was about 20 yards of me raising a racket like she was ready to fight!!!! So i just sill let her calm down and go on around the hill. Put my cam up and left!! Then took my bow to the shop. They said it was were the string was wore. So I had a new one put on sit got to try it before I go back. So make sure your string in good shape. I knew mine was wore alittle But did not think it was that bad.
