RE: If you voted Jake
Germ,
When you shot the turkey that way was there any damage to the breast meat? Was the bird a complete mess?
Did you recover your arrow? How far was it from where you hit the bird? What poundage are you shooting?
Thanks
Tom

Do you think a mech would have stopped him any quicker? Good shooting!

Sure it isn't shot placement? My turkey last year went 0 yards. He just flopped around after a hit with an 85gr 1 3/8" fixed blade. Could have been a total fluke though. I am no turkey expert. In fact, I know just about nothing about turkeys or turkey hunting. Question above is an honest one, not meant to be a smart comment.

MichaelHunsucker where do you aim? Do you wait for the bird to get in a certain position?
I hit this bird right up the shoot(butt), the arrow did come out the right breast. I did take part of the right lung out.
Just wondering?

Also, when i shot that jake this year i shot him facing, right in the chest and the arrow went straight out his back and was above the breast meat so none of it got damaged.
