I've been hard after turkey's since the beginning of April, and I finally filled my tag 4-22-12!


I called two jakes to 4 yard, and shoot at my first opportunity. The 2 jakes take off side by side after the shot, and the one I shot at fell within 20 yards. Then the other one started to fly and my arrow was in him! So I not only got my first turkey with my bow, but my second turkey in one shot!

Here's the one I was meaning to shoot-

Another 60 yards his buddy-

Thanks guys! It's one I won't soon forget that's for sure!

tradbower- In the unit I live it's only a one bird limit. So I called the Game Warden and told him what happened. He came out and took the bird to a needy family. He appreciated I turned it in and knows accidents do happen, so he didn't give me a ticket.
