Bluegrass Bowhunter's turkey thread inspired me to get up extra early this morning:^)!  I've been hunting this bird for three days,finally tired of him flying away from me to his girls, so decided to slip a blind between his favorite roost tree and the swamp edge preferred by the ladies.  What an incredible morning, everything that should have gone right DID, which is RARE for me . . . I'm still pumped!!

Awesome bird...Congrats!

Congrats , nice bird  

Wow, nice bird and great photo's !!!!

Well done, glad it all came together for you!!        

Good Bird.Don`t you love it on those rare occasions where you can`t mess up.At least for me its rare.RC

Well, it went 99% my way.  The bird came within 20 feet of my blind and then turned his back to me in preparation for an attack on my srutting jake.  When he hesitated I centered him in the back knocking him spread-eagle, took his legs out of commission but not his wing action.  Long story short, the ground in front of my blind looks like a hog wallow due to the beating he put on me before I could get a boot on his head . . . but dead is dead:^)

awesome congrats!! all those bow hunting turkey threads are making me think i should start doing it!

Well done! Way to work out his pattern and get where he wanted to be.
