Since I got lucky on Monday, I decided to try to get my 2nd bird with a bow. This bird gobbled around a dozen times on the roost. When he hit the ground he went the other way. About 20 minutes later I had a hen in the field answering my calls. Every time she called I answered her back. We did this for about 5 minutes. Finally the gobbler fired up and came to the field. He saw my mounted decoy and came running in full strut. Before I could get a shot he flogged my decoy. I ended up shooting him off the decoy. He went straight in the air and didn't move when he hit the ground. I am now a firm believer in the mounted jake decoy. He weighed 20lbs, 1 1/8 spurs and most of his beard had been tore or ripped off.  |

Your my hero! Congrats on a bowkill gobbler! I see u hunt Ky alot, do you ever try Higginson-Henry in Union Co? over 2000 acres of archery only turkey hunting & the place is full of birds. Some hunters there on the weekends, but the week is pretty much to yourself.

Some hunters there on the weekends, but the week is pretty much to yourself. Thanks everyone! No, but I know a couple of guys who do and they say it is loaded with birds. Dad and I hunt 87 acres in Ohio county (close to Calhoun). I've killed a bird with a crossbow and a bow. Both of those birds have died faster than any bird I've killed with a gun. Both of them never flopped and died within 5 seconds. |
