Great bird and story, Curt.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

Amazing...I a touch jealous after this weekend’s fun!

Great job!

I have one question...were they strutting or do you wait for a going away shot.  I'm still under the accuracy by quantity rule.

Great hunt Curt, thanks for sharing again!!!  :thumbsup:
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Congrats Curt on another beautiful bird. What an awesome view to soak in with some feathers hangin over your back. When did you get the Dark Archer? Is it 54" and what pound. I've got the Signature Hunter 58" @ 55# and it's quick. Its very manageable in a blind and it's smooth as silk. I almost got a Dark Archer but I thought the 54" was just a little to short for a 29-1/2" draw.

Great Job as always and God Bless

Nice one Guru...you made my day...slaving away in the salt mines and bzzzzz, bzzzzzzzz, bzzzzzzz...another turkey pic.  Glad to see you ringing out the Dark Archer   ;)  .

David, I have a 54" Dark Archer AND a 29 1/2" draw; I'd say that is the limit.  It IS sweet even in the small (T2) Double Bull.
