First Turkey Bow hunt

edited May 2005 in Bow Hunting and Target Archery
I know it's a little late, but I just stumbled across this forum.
I just got into bowhunting in January because I was invited to go Elk Hunting in August. Well, I figured I better get a bow and start practicing. I started shooting in late January and after shooting my but off until April, I decided, what the heck, I'll try bow hunting turkey bird for fun and see what I can tear up. Well, I guess I got pretty lucky as you can see below on the attached link.

Here are the particulars:
25#, 1-1/8" spurs, 5 beards. out of a blind.

    Shot him in Macon County, Missouri (north MO) It was about a 10 yard shot. I was hunting with my father in law and we waited around in the blind from 5:15 am til about 8 and he decided we were sol, so he left to go pick mushrooms and about 30 mins. later after calling off and on, two big toms came running in from the left of my blind. I barley had time to turn on my video camera and draw back. (did I mention I got it on video?) I hit him a little bit back of the wing but he only went about 35 yards. All I can say is....I'm Hooked.
