Oklahoma Turkey and first pic try
« on: April 14, 2008, 03:12:00 PM »


Hi All, don't post much, but lurk allot. Trying to figure out this techno stuff, first try with pic.

Bird shot at 5:30 friday evening. Heard him gobble once, thirty minutes later he came in quite and struttin. He attacked my full strut decoy, that was a hoot! Drop in place when arrow hit him. Black widow 45#@28, goldtip and wensel woodsman.
Shot him in Coal county, Oklahoma. Missed two birds last weekend so am really pleased to seal the deal. Went birdless last year. Hope the pic works.
