had a great season so far and still have til the middle of january with a bow,i was off work for thanksgiving so i took advantage and went turkey hunting,thanksgiving day killed a hen with my crossbow by 9:oo,we can only kill one a day,so the next morning went and killed another,went the third morning and decided i would pass any unless it was a mature gobbler,was in the woods all day and finally at 4:00 in the evening had 5 mature gobblers come in to 25 yards,i picked out one and sent a black eagle arrow from my excaliber crossbow,it didnt go 10 yards he weighed 19 pounds and had 1"1/8 spurs but only an 8 and 1/2 inch beard.i had a great three days and here in ky we can kill all 4 of our fall birds with a bow or crossbow so i still have one more to try to get,maybe i will get another while im off for christmas.i have really started to enjoy fall hunting with my crossbow almost as good as spring.
