Stick & String

After Tyler's bird we were ready to get Josh on a nice Tom and we found just the spot to do it. The landowner said that he had been seeing about 2 or 3 gobblers in the morning. Right at dawn we let out a few yelps and immediately the woods was alive with turkeys. There was a hen that kept yelping and cutting and it started to sound like another hunter. Eventually, we heard the gobbler coming out into the open field. There were two of them, a younger tom and a dominant tom. They were laying it all out for the three hens to see when another tom belted off a triple gobble. He made a bee line at the other two and it looked like a show was going to start. Check out the video, it paints a pretty good picture. The video sums it all up until the end, when as fate has it, the battery dies seconds before the shot. Josh put a good hit just above the legs, it did a lazy flight and we backed out for an hour to give it some time. When we came back it was a done deal, Josh and his first turkey with a bow non-the less.
