Arrow went through the bird so fast I couldn't even see it. Where did it hit him?

Nice bird, congrats!

We had a slow morning,lots of gobbling but they all went the wrong way.

We had the same problem. At least three birds were gobbling close range but had no interest in our calls. They were just doing their own thing and slowly headed off the other way and then things went silent. Not long after a rather large fox came out of the area where they were gobbling.

Congrats on your bird. Save a couple for next Sunday and Monday.

Dad had the same thing happen to him Tim, where he was on the property NorthWest of us. He had three gobbling, watched them pitch down and head off in the opposite direction. And he saw three coyotes...out of range, that all went in the direction of the turkeys. He thinks the breakfast bell rang with all that gobbling going on.

Nicely done, nice bird, now you need to shoot some cranberries and mashed potatoes.

Hopefully I'll be able to share also, but it's nice to see things work out so well ! Congratulations.

Nice bird and nice to see it on video. My heart was racing as I watched the video. It was almost like I was there. I had to watch it more than once.
Thanks,
