Sept.30 fall turkey
« on: October 12, 2018, 12:38:27 AM »
Hi there,
Here is a photo of my very first fall turkey. I took him at 35yds with my bow. It was a two year old Tom it weight 18lbs 7in beard and little over 1/2 Spurs. He came in with three other long beards. I missed his buddy but later on with a few Yelps my bird and his other friend came in. I shot him as he was quartering away from me.  I couldn't believe it started to fly. I notice I did break his leg so he wouldn't go far. I  watched him to see where I would have to pick up the hunt. As he got about thirty yds over the tree line he fell like a ton of bricks in the swamp. It was slow going to get to him, but with nockturnal lighted nocks really help me to follow and recover him. I must say I love bow hunting turkeys. The rage trypan really did a number on him.

Nice bird! I have yet to get one with my bow, but I'm going to commit to it in the spring.I have missed several, but no big gobblers.
