Well , ive been out three times this year and been into birds every time . Lots of pressure this year in Cle Elum

. But this morning the birds were very vocal . I have been chasing a big one and trying to get him with my bow . Could have had him with a shotgun twice and was starting to have second thoughts about bow hunting but decided to stick it out . Well this morning i saw him with another nice one on the edge of a clearing gobbling there asses off . We snuck in to about 100 yards put up a hen deke and gave some soft calls . 5 minutes later i see one sneaking in so i draw back . About 30 longgggg seconds later he came around the corner and saw the deke , went into full strut , I figured he was 25 yards and i center punched him . He did a flip , ran 10 yards and then piled up . He weighed 18 pounds with a 8 1/2 inch beard . This is my best bird . I dont think i can ever hunt with a shotgun again . The big one is still out there

Congrats on the turk bird Rougheye! Way to stick with your bow! I'll have to try that next year for sure! The last two seasons I could have taken a bird with my hoyt instead of my shotgun.

Great job!
I took one with a bow about four years ago and for some reason haven't done it since. It definitely is a rush!
Again.... great job!

Congrats ... definitely a special harvest with a bow ... a big yahoo !

You're inspired me to dust off my 55# recurve I used in the late 60's and also get my Matthews out of the box and outfitted this summer. I also want to take one with my TK2000 smoke pole.
