Well done and well told! That was a great story with two magnificent birds in the hand. Good job.  

Beautiful pictures of a great hunt!      

Fantastic!!  Great hunt and great birds. Thanks for sharing

Great job guys. It is an awesome feat to kill turkeys with trad gear. I have to wait awhile till I can hunt them.  

Great job! I am trying to hunt them here with the longbow this year and it warms my heart to see another tradganger have success in a difficult creature to hunt. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Well done Gents!

Man,you guys got me all pumped for this weekend here in Colorado!Congrats!

Excellent    Congrats!

Thank you for all the great replies.  The Mississippi turkeys are a whole different animal.  The closest that I have had one with trad gear is 40yds.  The tough part is that when you find a place that seems perfect to bowhunt, you settle in for a sit, and a gun hunter seems to pop thru your set up.  Frustrating to say the least, but we were lucky enough to find a guy in Texas that understands bowhunting, and the space one needs to leave as a sanctuary from the boom sticks.  The blinds seem to bother the eastern birds more.  I will keep plugging away.

COOL, CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOUS,ALSO I LIKE THE CAMO ON YOUR BLIND,BLENDS WELL WITH YOUR BACK GROUND,,,

     Congrats! Great shooting!

Good Job! looks like lots of fun you had!

Congrats guys       Two very fine birds & doing it trad just makes it so much better.

im heading to camp this weekend to take my first stump shoot walk where im hunting on the 30th for turkey first year with a bow i think im going to give it a try i have a 60in. 35# fiberglass semirecurve and im shooting it prety good im hoping its enough #s im not ready with the 48# bow yet but think i can hit a bird at 15ish 20 yards at max you guys think 35# is enough for yard birds if i do my part.

awesome hunt fellas. turkey season is just days away , here in nc.

Heck yeah... Awesome and congrats !!!

Congrats to the both of you on some fine birds.

Great set-up, great shots, awesome results. Nothing better than hearing those toms gobble and spit and drumming this time of year. Many times a successful hunt is just observing the birds, you took it to the top level. Thanks for sharing!

great pics

congrats

b44mag, I will say that at 15 yards shooting a 50lb Morrison with 2" head I stuck through the bird, but did not completely pass thru.  This is fine with me, I want to stay in the bird anyway, but was surprised that I didn't pass through at that distance.  35lbs will probably do the job right on a close shot.  I would want as heavy of an arrow as I could get.  These birds are tougher than you think.  Maybe someone could shed more light on this that shoots a lighter lb bow.
