Good morning everyone.

The wild turkey flock has picked up on the deer corn and now they come running when I rattle the bowl. It’s hilarious seeing a flock of turkeys running across the yard toward you. I’ll try to get video some morning but they are camera shy.

Yesterday the Pileated woodpecker landed on the pine tree, across the driveway.
The phone didn't produce the best photo.
Went and got the P1000 and went to get a good photo.
It looked at me, and went to the backside of the tree.
Ah, I thought, you want to play that game.
I waited, a few minutes later it peeked around the trunk. Came into view again, great pose.
I focused in, .....the battery expired.🤣

It flew to another bunch of trees laughing as it flew.

One has been favoring the front yard feeding station of varied feeders suet. Countering of course the reason a strictly suet feeder is out back .

I have some testing to do, also some arrow cutting. I like the aluminum arrows the best but different fletching, carbon fiber or not... I am going to try indoor testing, shoot from the shop since we have god awful rain and wind, storms from hell!

Well done...

Is that a couple of XX75's, or Gamegetters mixed in with that fancy carbon?

Being a trad shooter, I shoot mostly Port Orford cedar shafts. I start with bare, doweled shafts and then cut to length, paint/stain, fletch and crest myself. Haven't made any in ages, but always enjoy making my own stuff..

In 15 yrs of feeding our feathered friends I have yet to see the Pileated feed at the feeder.
I guess they get enough natural feed in the bush.

I'm not a shooter, so I had to look up what a Port Orford shaft was.

Learnt what a person gets for $4-4.50 ea.
A shaft.

I do remember having a big bow when I was young.
Saved up and bought some arrows.

First try I pulled back with everything I had.
Resting the arrow on the side of the index finger, lined up the target, and I released the cord.

The burning pain shot out of my left hand, I looked down and the plastic quill was impeded into the my index finger joint.
It was like pulling fish hooks out.
Still 50 yrs later I wonder what I did wrong.
Never did pick that device up again.
I stuck to firing guns.😁
