Matt's Osprey Turkey
« on: April 30, 2011, 11:40:00 PM »
Matt is a great friend of whom I have a lot of respect for.  I used to coach him in wrestling about 10 years ago.  Since then he has been in the army, serving two years in the desert.  Last summer he converted to traditional and I built him an Osprey, using antler burrs as overlays.  Matt is an avid shed hunter and has hundreds of antlers laying around.  Anyway, the conversion has went well for him and he sent me some pictures of his MN spring turkey tonight.  I thought the pictures were worth sharing.  Chad

Nice turkey and beautiful bow! An Osprey is a killing machine, and that one is a super pretty one. Thanks for posting the pictures, Chad.
