Spring Turkey 2016

I was up early this morning. Feed the goats and donkey, chickens and duck. I took the kids for an a tv ride for a while. Then we decided to go out and unload T posts. It was a bad day for a tom to show up in the front yard. I went back in, got my bow, then realized I didnt have any broadbreast on the arrows. I had to open a package of Muzzy's and put one together and get it on the arrow. I went back outside and had to walk about 20 yards off the front porch. He isnt the biggest tom, but we are having him for dinner tonight. It also the first time in 2-3 years I have shot my bow. He was 19 lbs 2oz, 8 1/4" beard and 3/4" spurs on a Merriams.

we had success this morning as well. Youngster missed his first opportunity, but on our second set up, we got 3 toms called in and he managed to kill one of them. Didn't weigh the bird but had an 8" beard and maybe 1/2" spurs. Young man was a happy camper. Was great getting to help him and see him get his first archery turkey.

Got my turkey Saturday morning and cooked it Sunday. Perfect weekend!!! The Turkeys out East are not in full mating mode yet but he was interested enough to come look within shotgun range!
