Title: 2018 spring gobbler
Post by: ntvbowyer1969 on May 02, 2018, 02:18:55 pm

Hello everyone. I have been fortunate enough to take two beautiful gobblers the last two years now. I called this bird in at 6:45 am. It was cool to hear his gobble getting closer and closer. He actually came in slightly below the ridge i was on and passed me up by 30yrds before he came up to the flat i was on. I softly called again and he came right into the decoys between 15-18yrds (i only walked it off to measure). He had a 9" beard and he was very heavy. I used my osage snakey bow and maple arrows with spoon trade points. I also found a mess of ramps on the way out of the woods.(http://[img]https://i.imgur.com/EJjK3mb.jpg)[/img]

Congratulations NTV. That is really cool. Heck of a good job hunting there. Thanks for taking us along. Looks like they need to start a 2018 hunting pictures thread and put this one in.

In my book using your own arrowhead add a plus to an already hard to get accomplishment     (SH) :G
