Title: Got one!!
Post by: THunt on May 30, 2013, 04:38:48 PM: With only a few days left in the season and a tag in my pocket I decided to try and kill a bird with my bow.

I left the house thinking there wasn't anyway I could fool a long beard this late in the season. I was wrong. After a failed calling attempt, 38 gobbles, and a 20 yard shot I killed the biggest bird of my life!!!

10" beard
22.5 lbs
1" spurs

Toms are hard enough with a shotgun let alone a bow this late in the season ;)
