Thanks Siman08, I also missed a jake early on, BUT I guess it was for the better, since I finally got a chance at a good bird. When it comes to turkey hunting with the bow, I usually don't get to picky about the beard length.

ORIGINAL: Howler

Hello, is any body in here!

Hey guys, I finally connected with my bow, just this morning on my last morning of the season. My friend from here in CO. and I killed a unique double on the same stand this morning, and captured it all on film.
I shot mine at 8 yards with the bullhead and when it started floppin' around, the other toms and jakes came running into the set and my friend shot a nice tom too with his shotgun. He actually missed his first shot, but connect as they were scattering.
Mine had a beard 10.25", left spur of 1.125", right spur 1.25" and weighed 19#'s. The score I come up with = 60.75.
It was an awesome hunt to say the least. And here's a pic. of the two toms, the two weapons and two happy hunters. Me on the left.

CONGRATS Howler!!!!! Nice Birds!!!!!!!

We were filming to make a video for Magnus broadheads using only the new bullhead. My buddy has all the videos and is in the process of doing some initial editing before sending it all to the editors to make the final product. I don't havea copy of this hunt. SO, it's a matter of time and getting a copy of the finished product. If I had to guess the way these videos go, the finished product MIGHT be done by this fall.

Thanks gplant. It looks like a total of 16 birds out of the 80 bow hunters were killed. About 20% success rate. Not bad, BUT not real good either.
