Been hard fellers, storming on the days I had to hunt, gobblers been henned up, but today it all came together. Had a #23 gobbler, 10 &1/2 inch beard, and one inch spurs worn down to round nubs come in hot to my jake and hen decoys at 11:45pm, only gobbled once, came in to fight, got a dose he wasnt expecting. He ran, flew, jumped about 60 yards. I had to wade the creek, then walk back with him to get my gear, and about 800yds back to the truck. I was about burnt up, hot and humid. I got a few pics after taking off my ghillie, will try to send them from my phone. I hit him with a rivercane arrow, and a flint tip from Eric 101 on here that weighed about 500grains out of my #48 Quinn Stallion. I lost both the arrow and the tip in the fly off, but a great hunt neverthless! I will try to get pics to someone to help me post later. Just thought I would share fellers, dont give up till it is over. Sam.

Great work Sam. Imagine when someone finds that head.

Way to go Sam! I'm here for you again as well if you need pics posted. You have my email I think.

Excellent job with the primitive arrow and head, man.  

Congrats Koger,your right been a tough season with the weather we been having.

Great job Sam! Its been a rough season for us.

I hunted all day yesterday and worked one for nearly 2 hours and simply could not get him to come in. Then moved to another spot and got on a bird and here comes a Rhino and 4-wheeler and the bird just shuts off. I stepped out into the road and the people drive up on me and ask me if I am turkey hunting there, and I tell them "nope, not anymore". Then they tell they heard some on the other side of the big hollow fill I was hunting. I just said thanks. I was hot!

Anyway, congrats and would love to see what the flint head of Erics did to that bird.

I think I may go give it one more shot this evening but I am pretty sure its about wound up for the spring hunt!

On to squirrel season!

Thanks for the fun story. Good stuff Sam w/cane & flint.

Congrats on the turkey, I was betting on you all along!

Thats sweet nice work!

Awesome Sam!  I heard 2 birds below the house in the fog this morning, but figured I'd better stay w/ my wife this morn. for Mothers Day.  It's been a rough couple of days on her.
Congrats to you Sam!

Congrats Sam! Cane arrow and Stone Head, Well Done!  

Very well done. Great hunt

Nice well done.

Congrats on the bird man....

Way to go Sam! You were using a ghillie suit instead of a blind? That is awesome.I am getting set up to do that without being in a blind as well but it will have to wait till next season now.What distance was your shot?
