End of a long dry spell... IN Turkey
« on: April 30, 2010, 03:33:00 PM »
It's been four years since I killed my last turkey...  

19lb, 22mm spurs, and 10" beard

I shot him with a 54" Elburg Jaguar Mite, 54# at 27", carbon arrow with Magnus 1 w/bleeders... got a pass through...

Bow, Blind and Bird
