Title: Ky Turkey #1 down!
Post by: koger on September 15, 2011, 11:23:00 AM
Well wasnt planning on hunting this morning, had PT on my knee at 9:30, but a charley horse at 6:50 had me up and walking was the only cure. I got my stuff together, drove to my favorite Blind, and after about 10 minutes, rain stopped. I walked to the blind, got set up by 7:15, did not expect to see much, but an extra hour or so hunting beats not hunting at all. 8:20 decided to give it about 5 minutes, get the house, shower again and head to PT. About the time I decided that, here comes 9 hens, 7 young poults form this year, about #12, heading for my food plot. They ease by my blind, from 6-20 feet! I wait till they are all nearly by, and shoot the last one in the back as she is walking over the hill, 14feet from me! She rolled about 20 feet and flopped a few times, easy recovery. Time was ticking, ran an got her, got to the  house for 1 hero pic, showered and was a just fem minutes late. Mudd I will send you a pic to your email on your profile, if you would post it for me. I hope this is not unlucky, my 13th trad archery turkey! Just thought I would share.

Congrats!!!!!

I disdain turkeys. They are bullies. Every year the consistently whip me unmercifully. I do sometimes mange to get my licks in, however I take many...many more.

Not just words, but every turkey is a genuine trophy. They have presented such wonderful and memorable challenges that they are my #1 choice to hunt.

Dont worry Jimmy, I have wings drying on my back porch. I forgot to mention, I used a #50 Quinn Stallion, and GT 35/55 with a 165 gr. Ace Std. on it. Was a 140+125 alum insert for screwing into carbons.

Jim,
My uncle has a longbow and arrows that Jake Miller made for him. I don't know for sure if it was him or some of his people that my uncle Troy guided on an elk hunt. Its a sharp bow for sure. I haven't met him yet but Troy said he is a monster of a man.
