I don't post very often here, but was too excited to be able to keep quiet.
About 1p.m., I sat against a fallen log near a path leading to a small pond. After an hour or so, two baby deer with spots walked by about 10 yards away, but I would have felt guilty taking one of them. (And, I could hear mom right behind me.) They hung around for close to an hour, and I was able to watch them browse. After they left, I moved myself to the other side of the log in order to be able to hide better for the next group coming at me.
A few minutes later, I heard something coming down the path, and a jake appeared out from behind the log about 15 yards out. Quick decision... legal... and the arrow was sent. He ended up with a Colombian necktie.
For those interested, I'm using a 1970 something Ben Pearson Rogue recurve, 50# @ 28" with a bamboo arrow and Zwickey 125 grain broadhead. Total arrow weight about 525 grains.
Awesome!!
Congrats!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! That is quite a trophy. Save those wings!!!
Way to go bud! Turkeys have always been my nemesis. I finally killed one fair and square with my bow this past spring. I KNOW the feeling! Congrats again!
way to go buddy now go get some more :clapper: :biglaugh:
Good going . :thumbsup: :clapper:
Awesome! Taking a turkey with a bow is quite a feat! I've hunted them for five years and only managed one so far. It kind of gets in your blood though! Any pics to post?
congratts! :thumbsup: ...pics ?
:clapper: Congratulations :clapper:
I had a lot of trouble getting my first turkey. Once I broke the ice I think something changed in my brain as now I have taken another four in a row. Nice job.
Good Shoot'n!

I don't yet know how to post photos to this forum.....any help would be appreciated. That being said, I only have one lousy photo from my cell phone.
Congrats!
Good job I have not got one yet with a bow either but it is at the top of the list.
