Default BBD with Vengeance! Finally

After a miserable season bowhunting turkeys, including arrowing and not recovering a great bird on openning day, I finally put one down for the count this a.m. at 7:15. Everything was textbook, 4 birds gobbling hard on the roost and this big double beard tom came in to fight jake jr. Broadside at 15 yards made a perfect hit and he flopped down for good after wobbling another 20. He weighs in at 24 pounds, 11 & 6 inch beards with a couple 3/4in. spurs that are worn down.

I owe this bird to RDhunter who talked to me privately after losing a bird a couple weeks ago. I was fixed on putting away the bow but he talked me out of it, and here I am today having turkey breast. Thanks RD.

-Jake

CONGRATS psebwhntr16
I'm glad to hear you stuck with it and gave it anothertry with a bow, did you usethat string tracker I told you about ?
I feel very flattered that you took my advice and you got a nice big double bearded tom to show for it
I will record your measerments and calculate your score then report to deerdust so he can post it in our team score card.
CONGRATS again on a AWESOME bird , I know you must be feeling proud of yourself knowing that you accomplished a very challenging feat.
