Title: got it done in MO
Post by: budtripp on April 18, 2012, 01:13:07 PM
I had this bird scouted out before the season and was able to slip in and get set up yesterday while it was still good and dark. Had the pleasure of listening to him gobble for a solid 40 min before he finally flew down. After a few soft yelps he make his way in to try and woop my pretty boy and I put a good arrow into him at 12 yards. First kill with my new hoyt. 21 lbs 10.5" beard and inch and a quarter hooks.

Congrats!  The spur on the leg with the tag is not a hook its a dagger! Does it curve at all or is it just the way the picture looks to me?

Congrats!  Have not tried one with my bow yet but I want to try.  I recently got into bow hunting last year but it was just for deer.  It was exciting with the deer so I'm sure trying to get a turkey with one would be a completely different level of excitement

Thanks everyone, now I have a dilemma: do I continue with the bow to try and fill my 2nd tag, or take my new Benelli, which has never been in the turkey woods yet but throws a mean pattern with hevi 6's ??? Decisions....
