Default I got my Fall Archery Turkey

Well it took me 2 years to do it but I finally did it. I got a Turkey with my bow this evening........ its a jake ........ he will be served at Thanksgiving at my home this year... No butterball on my table this year
I had an almost perfect heart shot... My broadhead cut the arteries leading to and from the birds heart.... missed the heart by just a fraction of an inch.
I am so excited I just had to share it with you all........ if it wasnt for all the great tips and advise from the good folks on this site on the turkey forum I never could of done it..... they taught me so much..........
SO... TO ALL OF YOU THANKYOU SO MUCH
Ill post a photo when I get them developed.

I was about to say, if you can hit the head, you're to good to be bowhunting.

Way to go lf. turkey r hard enough but 1 with a bow is special.
I missed a nice tom last sat. Yes i said missed, the bird didn't move until the arrow whizzed past him.

congrats!
