First Turkey
« on: April 13, 2011, 12:56:00 PM »
This is my first turkey a wet jake. The weather was not the best but I had flown from AK to SD to hunt so I went out anyway and was able to get this jake to come in. He came to within about 10 yard and I was able to get a shot at him. Used a Toelke takedown recurve, Beman MFX arrows, STOS broadhead.

Way to go!  You might get some kind of an award for traveling the farthest during turkey season!  Thanks for sharing your pictures.
