KS Turkey

[upper deck]

With limited time this year I haven't spend much time out chasing turkeys. Last night I was able to sneak away and get an evening hunt in. I ended up calling this bird in about 30 min after I got set up.

I heard him moving from NE of my to the NW starting at around 100 yards. I made a few calls until he heard me then just waited. He ended up coming in the silent most of the way. With limited time this year I couldn't get myself to see how close I could get him and ended up arrowing him at 20 yards.

nice bird. and 20 yds is close enough, it puts the meat on the table.

Congrats!! I'm looking forward to getting out after them this weekend. I have my doubts that I'll have a similar picture to post when I return, but it'll be fun nonetheless.

Consistently puts great birds on the ground.

UD keeps extending offers for me to drive down to KS and watch me try to kill a couple of birds with my bow. I better take him up on it before he quits offering. I think it's just an excuse to make fun of my shooting! I don't have a great track record on gobblers with my bow ( or whitetails in NE with a rifle for that matter).

Your track record with a bow can't match your rifle shooting in NE. If it does I may need to get in the arrow making business and custom quivers that hold 1 1/2 dozen arrows!!

I would have thought a bird around Lenexa would more likely be an Eastern. Yours looks more like a Rio. Maybe the back-lighting on this original pose makes it looks that way?

It was in the central part of the state.
