I Love the Rut!!

I had one of my most exciting and memorable hunts the other night! I was hunting in a ground blind, with Jared filming. I put out a Code Blue Temptation with doe estrus and got in the blind. It wasn't 10 minutes before a spike walked right out to the scent. Jared didn't even have the camera set up yet. The spike finally walked off & about 20 minutes later, 7 turkeys came out at 25 yards. They left after a few minutes but then came back out at 12 yards so I shot it with my bow. My FIRST turkey!!

About 5 minutes after that, a 7 point walked out to the Temptation at 27 yards, perfect broadside & I got him. He's not a monster, but it makes for a pretty good story & Jared got it all on film!! So stay tuned, these may also be on Deep Woods Adventures!!

(By the way, that Code Blue temptation really did its job! As we were doing the post interview after I found my buck, 3 more smaller bucks were also walking out to the scent!)

I did all of this wearing my new favorite SHE clothing: the SHE Cat Skinz, and the SHE Classic Pant & Jacket (which is only available at Bass Pro). My favorite thing about these is how quiet and easy they are to move in. That is extremely important, especially when hunting in the ground blind, which was cramped with me, Jared, & the camera equipment.

Deep Woods Adventures

I had so much fun bow hunting in Oklahoma with Deep Woods Adventures on opening weekend. I shot my first doe EVER & a 10 point! The doe was about 15 yards away & the buck at 20. I saw several nice bucks there, but I wanted to wait for a better one to come in. My 10 point came into the food plot we were hunting over on my last night in Oklahoma. I actually had to draw back on him several times because he kept turning around to where I couldn't get a shot. Finally, he turned broadside at about 10 minutes until dark. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! lol It was a lot of fun, but he definitely made me work for it!

When I shot my doe, I was wearing SHE Cat Skinz, the short sleeve Jersey tee, and my new favorite SHE clothes: SHE Classic Fleece Pant & Jacket. They are warm, comfortable, easy to move in, & most importantly QUIET! You can only get them at Bass Pro & they are only $49 each.
