Oh and Germ, i wasnt saying that your shot placement wasnt good, cause obviously it was! :D
I was just saying that shot placement is SO critical when hunting turkeys with bows. Its hard enought just to hit the bird, but then you have to basically hit a baseball sized area... |

Thx Michael
I really thought this bird would have just flopped over. I will try and do better next time. |
RE: If you voted Jake
I havent had one flop over yet this year...they are tough!
I think that if you hit them in the vitals they are rarely just going to flop. I shot one this past fall with expandables and hit off target. It just happened to be that off target was right at the base of the neck and he dropped like a fly... I believe its pretty tough to drop them in their tracks with a fixed blad broadhead and a 300 fps bow, but it will definately kill them just as well. |

Germ,
I wonder if the poundage of your bow had anything to do with it. 68lbs for a little bird like that! Either way not sure. I'd like to accomplish a bird with a bow but I'd like to get a bunch of birds first. To date I only have 4. Maybe after 20 or so I'd more likely to take one with a bow. BTW- How much breast meat would you say you ended up with? Congrats! Tom |

Hard to say I had 1 full breast, and 1 I had was almost cut in half and I had to takes bits and pieces out. I would say 1/3 of a pound |
