I have heard many times of how tough those birds are and that video is proof. He must have thought that decoy really hit him hard while his back was turned! That's just an awesome video!

Worked on the video and was able to get some slow motion shots added. Don't know how to exchange the videos but here is a link with the slow motion shots added in. The slow motion is crazy... i will replace the old link too.

Dumb bird was dead and all he wanted to do was fight...
Aim small, miss small!

Yes, just me. I used a GoPro camera. I think it is the Hero model. Fairly inexpensive and you can use numerous different mounts for it. On this day I had it in a flexible clamp mount and clipped it to one of the blind supports. Has some nifty stuff like remote activation but I don't get that technical.

Nice. I think Ron (Stay Sharp) mentioned that camera, may have been the one he filmed his bear hunt with. Not sure but I remember him saying something about it. Hope it climbs a tree with you this fall.

Wow that's crazy. He acted like he didn't know he was stuck! Makes me think they must not have a lot of nerves in that area? Maybe he just thought that decoy snuck a quick scratch in on him :)

Pretty tuff critters for sure. A guy posted a vid on TG of him shooting a turkey in the wing and looked like he only got about 1 inch of penetration. Broadhead barely went through the wing and didn't poke into the body at all

Dang that's a great video! I can't believe that bird had that reaction. He had to be ate up with that deke.
