Title: 1st Trad Turkey Kill in Indiana
Post by: Kenny Henderson on April 25, 2015, 11:21:00 AM
I finally got my 1st turkey with my recurve, 21lb,10-1/2in beard, 1in spurs, Equipment used was, 44lb Bear Super Kodiak, 2018 XX75 arrows, 175gr Simmons Shark Broadheads. This wasn't the dominate bird, this bird got "whipped" by another tom and he then came in to my setup to "whip" my jake decoy. I was using 2 hens and 1 jake Feather Flex brand decoys.

Great job..I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. I took a turkey with a leafy suit a few years ago.. and like the leafy suit technique the most...but like the idea of the blind in certain scenarios...do you leave the window open that wide as in your photo ? And how far was your shot ? Thanks and again nice bird...

The blind is a Barronet brand that I got at Gander Mountain. It isn't a Double Bull but it did the job very well.

I did have the window completely open as in the picture, the bird was maybe 5 yards when I shot him. He was facing me and strutting, Pushing the jake decoy around when I shot him, I shot him in the neck where the skin and feathers meet. He walked off and died but left a blood trail a blind man could follow. Had the Simmons broadhead hit him at the base of the neck horizontally, I think it would have come close to decapitating this bird.
