Back in South Florida chasing turkeys on public land after missing out last year. Was on a nice tom the first 2 days and other hunters messed me up, 2nd time he was inside 50 yards and closing. Nothing day 3, then on the 4th day called in a tom to 10 yards. He came straight in, never engaged the decoys and walked off.
New area on day 5. Had a hen yelp back at 9:30, kept calling. She came by an hour later and I quickly got a couple pics. A couple minutes later I heard something coming and got ready. The tom strutted right in front of me and turned his back, I was able to raise the bow. Drew as he turned broadside, aimed and released at about 5 yards.
Knew the shot was good and he ran 30 yards and was down. Pretty heavy for the swamp, 16.5 lbs, 9 7/8" beard, 1" spurs.
