Texas Turkey
« on: March 27, 2013, 09:29:00 PM »

Just got back from Texas and had a great turkey hunt. Birds were a little behind normal but some worked good. Got this one with a sinew and copperhead backed osage bow.

Congrats!!!  Any more to the story for those of us a a month away from turkey season and unable to travel?
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Way to go Mike! No wonder you weren't at OJAM, people running around with fist's full of dollars looking for Pine Hollow Longbows to spend it.I guess I would be turkey hunting too. Always enjoy reading about your hunts. Extra special with the osage.

Mike,

I notice your arrows are bright yellow and white.  Have you had any problems with turkey picking you out???

Selfbow19953, you asked about the arrows fletching. That is the forth bird that I have taken using those arrow and feather combo. I have had no trouble while in my blind using them, if I were hunting out of a blind I would use a more camoed type.
These are the Traditional Only arrows from Three Rivers in the 500 and a Woodsman head. I find that this works out of most all my bows, traditional or primitive and get a pass through on most every one.
