Opening day Oklahoma Turkey season success
« on: April 12, 2019, 10:52:42 AM »
 A little late in posting this, but better late than never.  Now that Rick Chumley shot a better bird than mine, I figured it was okay to go ahead, lol.

Big shout out to my bud Dave Sisamis for doing the calling and camera work on this bird.  I used my cell phone to tape a portion of it off of the television so I could post it here, but he has great video of it.

Anyway, we had hens, jakes, and two gobblers behind us early into the hunt.  In fact, the bird that I didn't shoot is a bird that we call lefty, and he bred a hen right behind the blind a few minutes before the camera footage began.

I was using my TallTines Stickflinger that is only around 52-53# at 30" and an black eagle instinct arrow with a Big Jim Big 3 broadhead for a total arrow weight of 760 grains.  That is by far the most GPP that I have ever shot, and it was a last minute decision.  It was nearly a pass through initially, with the arrow falling out after around 15 yards, but the string tracker line( Thanks Chad Orde) stayed intact in the bird, who only made it around 30 yard.
