I went to South Dakota on April 3rd, 2009. I flew into Rapid City. When I got to where I was going to hunt, they had 27″of snow. WOW, being from Georgia, I had never seen that much snow. There was 400 head of cattle 400 and they were all going to a cave. Getting up ever 2 hours and walking in all that snow, wow you get tired. Then, in day light, I did the same thing, and feeding grain to the heifers. For 8 days I worked my butt off. You bet when I eat a steak, I will know just what went on to get it on my plate.

Now about my hunt, where I hunted last year, no birds, too much snow. In a few days the snow started to melt. The birds came in there. I had to waded the creek with a back pack, blind, and bow that weighed about 60 pounds. I got across the creek, walked ¼ mile and set up. About 3 hours went by, no birds. I walked over and looked at the creek.

Oh my! The creek had come up 6 feet in 3hours. Dummy me, I didn’t think about the snow melting!! There was no way I could get back across. Thanks to a good cell phone, I called Rob and told him what was up. He said don’t worry, I’ll get my boat. Soon, I heard him come. The water was running so fast and hard that he had a hard time getting to me, but we got back across, thanks to Rob. A guy has got to love Bow hunting turkey, with 60# of stuff, walking in 15-20″snow, across a creek like that. If the rope had broke, I don’t know what might happen, but it wouldn’t been good. I might not be sitting here now!! God was looking over us. I went to another spot where the snow was not too bad. I took two good turkeys. One was 22lbs 4oz-9″ bread, 7/8 spur. The other 22lbs 6oz-8.5″bread, 7/8 spur. What a hunt! But it all worked out.

My equipment was Bow- Hoyt Alphamax32, Arrows- Beman MFX400, Rest- QAD, Site- HHA DS-XL-5500, Release Tru-fire, Broad Head -spit fire 100. The rear peep has helped see my pin. Without it, my pin looks like a big stop light. When you get to be 66,you need all the help you can get.

Thanks so much Specialty Archery, Rear Peep Verifier #5,1/4.

Thanks everyone.
