Title: Rainy Day Turkey
Post by: jonsimoneau 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.
