After well over a decade, I finally took my first wild turkey. I was bowhunting with some friends in Iowa County, Wisconsin two days ago when I spotted a group of five birds walking down a trail that would put them directly behind my tree, up the valley from me and at eye level.

When the first one stepped clear I took her broadside about an inch below the wing but and a hair behind the back of the crop. She made it 10 yards before folding up at the base of a dead tree. Thanksgiving dinner will be a little extra special this year.

I see the TURKEY, QUIVER, AND HANDLE!! BUT, where is the bow.

I like the camo, looks good. Dont set that thing down in the woods, you will lose it.

Congratulations Jason! I've done it out of a blind before in the spring, but have never been able to pull it off in the fall. Those birds are tough to draw on!

Hey Jason,

If you still have them and send me at least one set of wing bones, I can make you one of these as a keep sake:
