How many will be turkey hunting this week?

Just another target of opportunity while bowhunting deer....

Iwill shoot one if i see it but will looking for deer.

That's exactly what my son Chase and I are trying this week h.h! Chase just had a half day of school today, so we were able to hit the woods early. We were in the ground blind by 2:05 and at 2:20 had a little doe walk in. This deer walked straight in to us and Chase laid the smack down on her at 5 yards! The shot knocked the deer down, but the shot was a little high(I don't think he had ever practiced a 5 yd shot! ) She got up and just went about 40 yds and laid back down. We were in no hurry because our plan was to try for a "poultry/venison" double. We sat for two more hours and at 4:30 we decided to go do the recovery while there was still good light and so we could get her checked in. Chase does a little on camera interview saying something like "Well, we were hoping to have a tom walk by, but it don't look like it's going to happen, let's go have a look at my deer, it's laying right over there." As soon as he say's this, he turns his head to the right and whispers; "Turkey!" Three big toms are coming out of the stripper hills into our woods. Everything happened so fast, I didn't get very good footage, but Chase missed a big ol' tom at 25 yds. He shot at the third bird and let fly before I panned over to it. He said it looked like he barely shot over the bird. It looked like he might get another shot because the birds didn't run off, but they just walked out of range. We will back out there tomorrow evening trying for another shot at those birds!

Way to stick one - congrats.

Congrats to both of you! Ive haven't hunted yet but might this evening. Ive been feeling under the weather the last two days. h.h.

That turkey made #5 with the bow for me. First one with a compound though.

Congrats on the turkey matahone.

Congrats on the bow kill turkey.

Nice bird. I hunted 4 evenings in a row. Just couldn't get on the same page as the birds.
