SpcNape Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 My brother and I went out this morning to do some deer hunting and decided to hunt together out of a blind. At about 1000 we had a group of turkeys come by and I decided to take a shot at a Tom. I let the arrow fly and... nothing. I missed him clean. This is the second turkey I've shot at and missed out of my blind this year and I was starting to get a little irritated. I'm no competition shooter, but I don't usually miss. At about 1100 we decided to make our way home, and my brother opted to walk out through the woods to show me something he had seen on our land last week. On our way down I caught another turkey move about thirty yards in front of us. We stopped and I got an arrow knocked. The turkey made his way down the hill just a little bit, and I tried a sneak. I got within 30 yards and had one shooting window if he would make his way to it. Sure enough he crossed where I thought he would and I laid the smack down on him. He's got an 11" beard and 1 1/2" spurs. I'm pretty stoked. Sorry for the long post. My Son, Aidan and my brother Josh who was with me when I shot the Tom.
