After quite a few years of trying I finally got a spring goobler with the bow this morning.

Thanks for the compliments.

I always try to take a little time to get a bunch of nice pictures, no matter what the animal. The pictures are for ever.

After trying for so long, the set up wasn't anything overly fancy. I was set up with a pop up along a field edge where I have seen a lot of turkey activity. I had called a little through the morning, a few distant goobles, but nothing close. About 10:30, I saw the goobler and a hen a the far end of the field. They went out of sight after moving slightly towards my set up. About 11:00, the hen popped out of the brush about 40 yards from me, slowly feeding right towards me, the goobler came out behind her. Was strutting and showing off for then hen, as she acted like she could care less, but she was still feeding towards me. She ended up going by at about 10 yards, it took a few minutes, but the goobler followed the same path. When I drew the top cam touched the top of the blind, hearing the sound, the goobler turned to leave, I already had the pin on him. The shot was center body going straight away, he covered less than 20 yards across the field. I finally had my first spring goobler with a bow on the ground.

462 grain total arrow weight, Exodus broadhead.
