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.

Loving the videos. Keep up the good work as it really allows those who can't be out there to "Live the Dream"
