Default Wife's First Archery Gobbler

Opening day of the 1st Wisconsin season... This is her 3rd gobbler, but first with a bow. Great video of the bird coming in during the 25mph winds and heavy snow, and she smacked it with a lumenok on her arrow for a great video! 25 pounds, 9 3/4" beard, 1" spurs... Check out the snow on her bow and shoulders... should give you an idea of the weather conditions! Not pretty, but we got 'r done!

Now thats really awesome , hunting turkeys in those extrem conditions is gotta be rough and getting one well thats just icing on the cake.
Congrats to your wife on her first tom with a bow , I don't know if I would even attemp to hunt in that kind of weather , you should be really proud of her.
