Unexpected benefits from owning a GSO 5.1

Apparently, the GSO 5.1 makes you more stealthy and in tune with nature. I was walking
through the woods to the new secret location for the shelter and BOOP! A deer. Snuck right
up on her. And she was close! Probably about 15 meters away just munching on leaves. She
didn't even look up until I made noise getting my phone out to take pictures. She didn't
seem to care that I was there. I slowly inched closer to about 10 meters and BOOP! Noticed
the second deer!!! They both hung around for maybe 30 minutes while I continued working
on shelter/wood working techniques.

The wonders of a 5.1. Who knew???

Those blacktail are cute little guys Looks like they're shedding their winter coat.

Momma and yearling get their munching on... I'd look for mushrooms or something they were after! Closest I was ever to a whitetail was last fall.... 6 yards for 30 minutes. Little doe wouldn't leave my turkey decoy alone. She'd run off and I'd deer grunt at her; and she'd run back up n look at my decoy like what are you?? She never saw me! It was first day of bow deer season and I was sitting there with a 3.5" 12 gauge for turkeys and .223 for coyotes if one tried to steal my turkey decoy again. Great pics!

Lol... yeah my Dad gave me his old bow and I got it all fixed up. So now I can learn to bow hunt! I had a huge deer 170+ 10 pt at 168 yards... but I'm not Rambo enough to make that shot with a bow! lol He'll mess up and I'll get him since no one got him last year. Maybe he'll be even bigger this year?!

After I got done thumping on knives last weekend I did a little turkey hunting. I walked around the point of this old logging road and made a call to see if I could get an answer. Nothing, so I went to walk in a little further. There was a bit of snow drift there up ahead and when I got to it, fresh coyote tracks. I mean, they had just been made. You could see where it dove off the road and then I hear it taking off through the brush, I was right on top of it. I'm convinced now that it was coming in to my call. If I had stayed put a minute longer it would have been in front of me, and me with a 12 gauge in my hands. I've called a lot of coyotes with distress calls, but never a turkey call. Do you have them come into a turkey set very often?
