Great job guys. It is an awesome feat to kill turkeys with trad gear. I have to wait awhile till I can hunt them.

Great job! I am trying to hunt them here with the longbow this year and it warms my heart to see another tradganger have success in a difficult creature to hunt. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Thank you for all the great replies. The Mississippi turkeys are a whole different animal. The closest that I have had one with trad gear is 40yds. The tough part is that when you find a place that seems perfect to bowhunt, you settle in for a sit, and a gun hunter seems to pop thru your set up. Frustrating to say the least, but we were lucky enough to find a guy in Texas that understands bowhunting, and the space one needs to leave as a sanctuary from the boom sticks. The blinds seem to bother the eastern birds more. I will keep plugging away.

im heading to camp this weekend to take my first stump shoot walk where im hunting on the 30th for turkey first year with a bow i think im going to give it a try i have a 60in. 35# fiberglass semirecurve and im shooting it prety good im hoping its enough #s im not ready with the 48# bow yet but think i can hit a bird at 15ish 20 yards at max you guys think 35# is enough for yard birds if i do my part.

Congrats to the both of you on some fine birds.

Great set-up, great shots, awesome results. Nothing better than hearing those toms gobble and spit and drumming this time of year. Many times a successful hunt is just observing the birds, you took it to the top level. Thanks for sharing!

b44mag, I will say that at 15 yards shooting a 50lb Morrison with 2" head I stuck through the bird, but did not completely pass thru. This is fine with me, I want to stay in the bird anyway, but was surprised that I didn't pass through at that distance. 35lbs will probably do the job right on a close shot. I would want as heavy of an arrow as I could get. These birds are tougher than you think. Maybe someone could shed more light on this that shoots a lighter lb bow.
