I broke the turkey curse!
« on: December 01, 2016, 01:42:00 PM »
Turkeys have been that one species I can't close the deal on for several years. At least with traditional/archery equipment.
That changed today, I shot what appears to be a Jake.

 

As I found it:
 

I was heading out from a deer hunt, a frustrating one at that! I'm going to make a separate post on this topic. As I was walking out I heard some clucks and hunkered down...I continued hearing turkey noises so I snuck up the draw and peaked my head over the top, a whole flock of turkeys! They were headed over the rise too. I waited until one of them present of the shot and couldn't be more happy!

 I have been blessed enough this year to now harvest three new species with my tradbow

Nice work Mike!

I shot just over of a turkey this year.  First time I have even been able to get a shot off.  It was exhilarating even though I missed.  Smart birds! Good Job!

Good for you, hope you didn't take a frontal shot!

Good job.  I wish I could.  Seeing one up close would go a long way toward that goal though.
