First ever turkey with video!

Hi everyone new to the forum and turkey hunting. So I have hunted for turkey a few time( we're talking 2-3 max) without ever seeing a bird. Was kinda discouraged there after and just stuck to whitetail for the past few years. Well last fall I got a new property to hunt and while out deer hunting I couldn't help but notice an abundance of turkey roaming around. Literally would see some almost every time I was out. So long story short I applied for a tag and got it.

Now keep in mind I had no clue what I was doing! Lol also must say I might be the luckiest person ever. As you can see in the video (sorry we're no where near being pro film makers) I missed the first shot. It worked out in the end because as things would have it the turkeys weren't even in the shot. Don't know how I managed to get a second chance but the turkey where more focused on opening a can of woop-a$$ on the decoy.  Wish I would of made a little better shot the second time but all that matters in the end is I got the bird.

Have to say I will most defiantly never be missing a turkey season ever again even though I don't think I can top this hunt. First ever turkey, killed it with a bow, and got it on video. Im stoked!

Did you hit them both?  Looks like the one in the back is the one who went down.    Congrats

No the one in the back flew clear across the field. If I could do over I would of shot that bird because he had a limp before arrows started flying lol. He was just always further away then the bird I shot and as you can see I need them as close as possible!
