Thanks for all the nice comments, I bought a nice Nikon
Camera a few years ago, great investment, even I can take good pics with it.
 Mike, set up was typical Double Bull blind with a hen and
Jake decoy.  I use the Dave Smith decoys, I don't think you can beat them for realism. Everywhere I hunt I use the same
Setup, always works. The dominant gobblers will just destroy
The Jake, hardly ever pay any attention to the hen.
 Bow setup, nothing special, I do like to use a lighter bow, 48 to 50 lb. and I always use a 3 blade head. They just do so much more damage and have a lot more shock than a 2 blade.
I will offer this piece of advice on shot placement. I think the
Frontal or going away shots are the best ones to take.
 I have never lost a bird with these shots, I have lost a few with the side shot. Very small kill area with a side shot.

Again, thanks everyone.

Roy

nice job and nice bird

Great job Brother and nice looking bow! Totally agree on the front/back end shots on turkeys. I've had a few side shot birds fly away never to be found myself.
