Just ordered some 125's off the Magnus website. I'll keep you posted. My hunt runs May 3rd thru May 31st. My buddy's deer lease is being over run by the feathered buzzards and he wants them out. My plan is to help him out   :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:

I took my first bird with a bow and used a bull head. They sure do make a mess of a turkey! LOL

Congrats!

Congrats,

As you mentioned, neck shot is the better option.  Sever the message center and tom turkey is not going anywhere.

Nice shooting???????   :confused:  Looks like you hit him in the kisser and failed to get the neck or spine. The follow up shot left something to be desired   :archer2:  None the less at least you got a big bird whereas I didn't bag a one  :(

Actually it looked like a real good shot, but as he mentioned - aim for the neck not the head.  I am planning on using bullheads this season (starts next week) and this is really good to know.

Bill

You and Tracy did a great job on the video. I picked up a few Bullheads today to try it the "Zipper" way on another turkey. Can I borrow Tracy to video my next attempt!......I know... she's probably not interested in filming a turkey holding a bow!(LOL)  :D

Good job!  I have to laugh a bit about some of my fellows who say aim at the neck- you probably did and missed by 1".  You need to adjust your sights!   :thumbsup:

Congrats on the turkey!

I checked out the other videos too. They're great! The armidillo hunts looked awfully familiar. Looked like Ray's place. I crossed armidillo off my bucket list last time I was there. Neat critters.  :)

Thanks everyone!The video camera adds alot of extra trouble,but it sure is neat when it works out.Usualy, I do the videoing and the shooting.Luckily, Scott was doing video duty this time.As fast as they came running in I dont know if I could have gotten out of video mode and into shoot mode fast enough.There has been 430 views on that video already.
Bill
I steped the second shot off later.It was 39 yards,and I only took that shot because he was still on his feet.I dont know how he ever got up after the first shot.INCREDIBLY TOUGH BIRD!!

I couldn't believe that turkey went that far after that shot.  Glad you recovered him.

Excellent Video. I haven't used the bullhead but my buddy highly recommends them.

Not sure what I'm more impressed with, the shot or how those turkeys came in on a string. Nice job

I bought a pack of Bullheads from Bass Pro on Sunday (125 grain). I went to my basement range (14 yard shot). Stuck a nail in my target and hung a piece of electrical tape down from it. Shot a practice Montec first to make sure that broadhead where the field tips do -- it did -- hit the tape but didn't cut it. Then put on a Bullhead. Cut the tape in half on the first shot!  The arrow bounced off the layered foam target and fell to the floor.  The broadhead was still super sharp, screws tight, etc. I'm impressed. Hoping to try it on a real bird in the AM.  Oh, I also bought that Killer Bee decoy -- pull the string and the tail fan rises and falls.
