Hey - it's not fair at all - here I am out in sunny CA working hard and the guys get to go turkey hunting!!!!
Good hunting and J you did a great job on the blood trail - lessons learned in Zimbabwe come in handy.
Can't wait to have a wild turkey dinner when I get home - be sure you guys are checking out the recipes.

Hee Hee Way to go Wingnutty. Now ya know why turkey hunting is the exact reason I am a string walking bow hunter. Ya need to put that arrow in a smallish orange sized target at what ever distance ya shot him at.
If there were ever two guys that would stay on a trail till either they were skeletons or the query was skeletons it is mike and jason. 'em boyz will find it
Turkey hunting can be addicting....and it will make a real good shot out of ya

Thanks for the kind words guys. Yep Rusty, it's hard to give up on a wounded animal that you have any chance of recovering. We went back to last blood three times and circled out to pick up the trail. I finally paid off. We learned from the best in the world in Zimbabwa watching the trackers follow Jason's Wildabeest and recover it nearly 2 miles on the GPS.
