First Turkey! And.....

I've been hard after turkey's since the beginning of April, and I finally filled my tag 4-22-12!


I called two jakes to 4 yard, and shoot at my first opportunity. The 2 jakes take off side by side after the shot, and the one I shot at fell within 20 yards. Then the other one started to fly and my arrow was in him! So I not only got my first turkey with my bow, but my second turkey in one shot!

Here's the one I was meaning to shoot-

   

Another 60 yards his buddy-

Wow - that is excellent   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Thanks guys! It's one I won't soon forget that's for sure!

tradbower- In the unit I live it's only a one bird limit. So I called the Game Warden and told him what happened. He came out and took the bird to a needy family. He appreciated I turned it in and knows accidents do happen, so he didn't give me a ticket.

Those are pretty birds.  Two for one?  More like 1 in a million!  
Kudos to you on being a stand-up guy with the game warden, you get to eat a bird and some other family will also get that privilege due to your efforts!
Best of Luck!
