This past April 11th, I harvested my first bow killed turkey. I have been told that this is the first one taken with traditional equipment in Delaware (modern season obviously). What makes this so special (as if it wasn't special enough) is that it happened on the same farm that I took my first deer on. As did my father and my brother and hopefully someday my daughter. We do not own the property and I will forever be in debt to the owner. He is in his 80's now and the future of the farm is undetermined. When I told him what I had done, he was so happy you would have thought he had done it himself. Thank you Warren Pettyjohn.
I shot the turkey with a 61# Black Widow, a 2018, and a 125gr. Razorcap at twenty paces. It had rained all morning but I made a break for the ground blind around 8:30. He was down by 10 and then it started raining again.
I need help posting the pics. I was hoping someone might give me a hand if I e-mail them.
