BHB your getting real good at this congrats buddy

Very nice! Thats one heck of a shot too! Good job buddy.

BHB, Congrats on the Bird and the quick kill.

IMHO a Bowhunter should never release an arrow at game unless he is confident of a quick clean kill.

Your story sounds quite the contrary. Hail mary shots have no place in a Bowhunter's arsenal. A Turkey's vitals are a small target at close range much less at 50+ yards. I think you are a better bowhunter than that. I enjoy the kill as much as anyone but there are times when the %'s should tell us not to shoot.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way. Nothing I like better than to encourage a young hunter, but there are also lessons to be learned.

Hopefully you will think long and hard before you take another shot at this distance on a Turkey or any Game. There are times when longer shots can be made, but it is a learning process to know when itis right and when itis wrong.

I never send an arrow on the way thinking "I'll probably miss anyway"

Major congrats, that is a heck of a shot & kill. Just remember the difference between luck and skill is knowing when to stop. Next time....you might want to stop.

Congrats man, Grow some Guns and Hunsucker may have his hands full

Wow Kid, you have become quite the killing machine!!! Way to go

Congrats on another fine bird. I agree about the pictures...very well taken.

Love the colors on those birds. Would love to get one someday.

Thanks guys!

and meanV2 thanks for giving me a differnt aspect on it......i will never take spur of the moment shots like i have before. That exactly how i wounded one early this spring. I hit it low and it just flew off.....

And thanks for the compliments on the pictures....the ten second timer was a pain in the butt to beat!

The next up&comer.....he has that look in his I like I did at his age...

Great Job Buddy!!
