My 10 year old has told me that he wants to shot his first turkey with a bow. Before I let my boys take their bows hunting they have to prove to me that they can shoot.

Well, I have to give him an "A" for effort. He has been practicing quite a bit.



I only let him shoot 3 arrows. The darn things are too expensive! Now, I know I brag on the boys, but if he pulls a off a bow harvested tom you all will know very proud dad.

By the way, I don't particularly agree with target manufacturer's idea of the bullseye, but we have been going over turkey anatomy on a regular bases.

PS our season doesn't start until May 3rd.

In Michigan we have a couple different season options. My brother and nephew always take the first season and I always apply for the late season. Been watching this nice tom on my property and called my nephew to tell him to come and get him opening morning. I had to work out of town for UKC so wasn't able to join them.

But they had a good hunt. Tyler killed this nice bird at 15 yards. 10 inch beard, 23 pounds. Didn't hear what the spur length was. Congrats Tyler! You are a turkey killin' son-of-a-gun just like your Uncle Todd ! lol

Here's mine!



Got him yesterday (4/25) 20lbs - 5 1/2" Beard (Frozen Off) - 1 1/2" Left Spur - 1 1/4" Right Spur (My Biggest Spurred Turkey To Date!)

Quick account of the hunt -
So far, my season has sucked! Hunted mon-thurs and barely had any action. I had to work Fri and Sat, so I couldn't go. Sunday rolled around and it was raining and not too great a morning. Took our time getting to our spot, but once there we could hear a distant gobble. The hens were roosted close so we picked a tree and sat down. We had a Hen decoy placed out to our left.
I got to work talking to the girls and slowly that gobble started getting closer. Then the woods went dead silent...
I quit calling and then minutes later the Hens started filtering through the woods towards us.
They saw the decoy and committed to checking it out.
Once up to it they started acting spooky and my dad whispered over to call and that he seen the Tom. I called and then they left her and started right for us.
The Tom was strutting over to my right and not budging.
The hens got closer yet, like 5 yards away!
Finally he broke and started coming. I had the red dot on, but my gun was not fully up nor was my safety off.
The hens moved further to my right while the tom went for the decoy.
I had to make my move to get the safety off.
I only moved my had an inch when those hens saw it and started putting. I thought the jig was up.
They started to leave, but Tom kept coming.
Safety was now off.
The Tom was hesitant now, but once he moved behind a small tree I got the gun up.
He started getting nervous.
My dad whispered over that I better hurry!
I need him to take one more step from away from that tree...
Finally I see his white head in the scope and I let him have it.

He went right down!! I was thrilled!! Biggest Spurred Turkey that I've ever killed and the second that I've gotten with a frozen off beard. I was even able to find my wad laying right by my bird, so I picked it up and kept it for a souvenir.



Cooler yet was this find later in the day while we were trying to get my dad a bird.
We had stopped to call and 10 feet away this hen jumps up and takes off. I knew what that meant walked over where she got up. 17 Eggs!!
