Here turkey, turkey, turkey
« on: April 04, 2012, 12:52:00 PM »
I did a little prep for our turkey opener on the 14th. Feeling a bit of pressure, only have the opener, then the wife and I head to Puerto Rico for a week.
Really want to use my new hummingbird but at 62" I hit the blind ever couple shots. I swapped to my Bear TD with the short limbs and it came together. This was at 18 yds

Don't laugh at my target either.


 
 

Group with my Hummingbird
 

Group with Bear
 

now if I can just find a stupid bird to come in.

Nice Shooting and your Turkey looks better than the one I traced out a few weeks ago... Good Luck

I was hoping that nice looking golden retriever wasn't your target.     :knothead:

After scrolling down more, I see your nice looking turkey.  I agree that guy has huge spurs!   :thumbsup:

I am holding out for a huge bird..... not !

For the record my Hummingbird is by far my more accurate bow but the shorter bow does better out of the blind

Good luck!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Just don't shoot a real turkey where your group is in the last picture. Nice shooting, though.
