This morning it was raining so I thought I would pop a blind up and put a decoy out in a field that turkey are known to be in. About 9 am this morning I see 4 gobblers about 150 yards away. They are slowly making there way towards me. The see the decoy and come right to it. I pick the longest beard and shoot. Bird jumps and walks off. I wait quite a while and can't find anything but a few feathers. Two of gobblers stuck around and eventually headed south. I walked around quite a bit nothing. I came home and watched a video again on shot placement with an arrow as I have only ever shot one with a gun. After watching the video again I believe I shot to far forward on the bird. I decided to go back and see if anything comes back. About 6 pm 2 gobblers come from the South. I think it's the 2 that headed that way in the morning. Again they work there way right towards the decoy. I had switched to a mechanical broadhead this time. I get my scope where I want it and pull the trigger. Bird goes about 35 yards and goes down. The other gobbler pecked at if for a long time but I wanted to make sure it was dead. Thanks Doug for taking the picture.

Congrats on a fine fall gobbler, he's a dandy!
A suggestion if you don't mind...try placing a "Stamped Star" on the shaft right behind the broadhead. It really puts the brakes on the arrow and completely tears and crushes bones and tissue. The birds are hard enough to get a shot at, might as well insure that it can't go far after a hit. BOB
