Lucky Bird

[13pt]

If you read my post from this weekend, "Bow Shot Bird", then you know the story. Caught a picture of him this afternoon. Look closely at the big gap of missing feathers just above his beard. That's where I nicked him with my bow at 30 yds. If I'm correct, his vitals are 2" to the right. Very lucky bird! I did go back and study the scene of the crime and it appears I might have clipped a saw briar and deflected the arrow. Our dance is far from over...stay tuned.

Wow I think there is a little more than just feathers missing. That's a deep gash. Hope you catch up to him soon

Time for the shotgun and an end to his chapter in your life

That's sort of cool, but time to finish him

He's taunting you....

Yea time to pack his mouth full of pellets. Not that I'm an expert (very far from it), but I've always heard the crease of the wing is the sweet spot if I remember correctly.

Yes I'm having a heated debate with myself whether to take the gun next trip and get this done. It sure would be nice to get one with a bow, but it's harder than I imagined.

Wow that's crazy but at least you know he's alive. Good luck catching up to him.

I bet he's the laughing stock of the flock! Grab the shotgun, go get him and post up. Good luck.
We're waiting.........

I'd shoot him with a gun to end it for him. You will still have 2 tags and can try for another with the bow after. He's tough for sure. Good luck with him.
