Hello brothers and sisters of the bow, I just returned from a turkey hunt with my son Tyler and thought i would post some pics and A brief recount of the hunt. We arrived at the old farmstead early Saturday morning after a four hour drive. The turkeys were strutting along the creek bottom, and some of the toms were engaged in a fierce battle. We were able to stalk within fifteen yards of two toms who were in a full out scrap, feathers were flying and the smaller of the two was getting the worst if it. Ty readied for the shot on the larger tom and looses an arrow, the birds were so engrosed in the battle they failed to notice the arrow which missed the bird by inches. He was able to shoot a second arrow which also missed the fighting birds, this arrow spooked the pair for a brief instant causing them to step back and stare in our direction. I loosed my arrow at twelve yards into the chest of the larger bird, the flint point entered just above the beard and buried to about fifteen inches. The bird went down at about twenty yards and expired quickly. Ty was not able t get a bird on this hunt but the time we spent together was well worth it. I will be writing the entire story for a future issue.. happy hunting to all ... Hawk a/ho
