Well hadnt gotten to hunt much, got a fat Jake, 4" beard and 20# yesterday morning, set up today at another place been seeing several birds, all gobblers. Fog was thick as soup, set up at 8am, had birds coming by at 10am. One big gobbler about 200yds off, wouldnt come to calling, but 2 jakes came up at 12 and 14 yards. I was in a big open pop up with a ghillie and spandex head mask on. I raised my bow when this turkey had his back to me, started drawing and halfway thru the draw he whirled aruound facing me! I was committed so I picked a spot, He raised his head up and went PTT and I let her fly, thru the chest,right under the right wing and cut a big hole out the back. He whirled, bounced a couple of times then took off over the bank and glided about 50 yards where he crashed. I watched him for about 15 mintues, packed everything up and retrieved him. My arrow fell out 1/2 way across the field. I was shooting a #50, 60" Quinn Stallion, 28 1/2" GT 35/55, w/200grain Ace standard 2 blade, cut a BBIIIGGG HOOOLe! I was stoked to ge these birds, after getting all 4 last fall with a trad bow here in KY, a lot of folks told me it was a lot easier in the fall than the spring, and maybe so, Jakes are kinda stupid, but I am proud of any game taken with a trad bow. One guy told me it would be impossible to do in the spring, gonna take him some pics tonight. Just thought I would share.
