Rainy Day Turkey
« on: May 11, 2013, 05:28:00 PM »
What a wet cold spring!  Had this guy come in and give me a shot at a whopping 7 yards. Called him in with a crystal mistress pot call by David Halloran. I waited till he was facing away from me and put the arrow right where I wanted it and was somewhat astounded when he took off in flight. He died in mid air. Shot him with my old Habu recurve, an axis shaft and one of the big treesharks.

Looks like a big old bird, big head on him. Good shoot n'. Them rainy day gobblers ain't quiet as purty as the dry weather birds are they.
