Default Picked up my 07 KS Bowkill Gobbler.

Hey guys, well a year April my bird is finally home from KS.

If ya'll remember, I went to KS in April 07 for their first ever archery only opener for their spring gobbler season. My friend, tkycaller (Wags) here on HNI went with me. We were hunting with Paradise Adventures. We were also fliming with River Valley Game Calls which I successfully took two spring birds, one Rio and one Eastern and Wags successfully took a gorgeous Rio with his bow the last day of a 3 day hunt.

We're still hopeful the footage will spring up somewhere, either on a new DVD or on the website.

The shot was featured at the very tail end of River Valley's commercial seen online. Here's the link to see the bird get waffled. http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk204/rivervalleygamecalls/?action=view&current=rivervalleycommercial.flv

Here's one of my hero shots from that hunt. This was my very first spring gobbler with a bow but my 4th mounted bird.



And here he is, finally home. I took the pics outside to show it's color:

Easterns are really black compared to this copper/bronzed bird:

Looks like a great playmate for your dog.

I give it 2 weeks

It sure is pretty, though!

elevate it from any dog like GMMAT said, my buddies was chewed up after about 3 days cause he put it on the floor.


That may very well be the most beautiful turkey mount I have ever seen.

Who did it for you?
