thanx guys...ill keep that in mind...when you say "wing butt" you mean the joint where the wings connect? zip one right through there if broadside....right about where the beard starts from the front...and ive head if they are strutting to shoot right in the base of the fan....a turkey with a bow would be awesome....i love turkey hunting...the days the birds are going to cooperate someone screws up my hunt....the days noone is around the birds dont wanna play..i dont know if ill take my bow in the spring or not....id love to....but that alot of moving to do without a blind...but fall ill be up in a tree...a LITTLE easier..but harder because itll more then likely be a WHOLE flock...but if i got the opprotunity atleast now im confident in where to shoot.

hey rob......maybe we should incorperate a fall turkey contest.... gobble obble obble....

i love deer hunting(and im sure bowhunting will REALLY change me) but mannn do i loveeee hunting them turkeys. you guys will say i love turkey hunting because i get them in close..but i bet you i killed a deer with a rifle closer then most any of your bow kills. lets put it this way..if i had a bayonet i wouldnt had to shoot. it was my second deer..first deer dad was with me(i was with his friend the first time i got one) the guy that took me my first year knew me and dad wanted to be together that day but dad worked and it was the last day. after i killed it he told me i have to promise him to share that excitement and thrill with my dad. i didnt wanna back down on my promise...and wanted to get me a deer. that one got spooked and ran down a mountain and up my mountain as dad and i were coming down..i hid behind a tree..dropped to 1 knee..when it got up the mountain parrallel with me i rang out a shot. dad didnt even know what was going on and he was close then the deer lol. ive killed 10 deer and probably only 3 or 4 were out of bow range....ive always like close quarter hunting
