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.

The road to "Sherwood" makes for an awesome journey.

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!

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?

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.
