CA Archery Turkey (pics)

[BOHNTR]

Last weekend I was able to travel up to the northern portion of the Golden State to bowhunt turkeys with some friends. After experiencing a few call shy birds, I did what I do best.....stalked in on this 5 year old gobbler (their estimate). One arrow at 28 yards did the trick. He had over a 10" beard and right at 1.5" spurs.....but weighed right at 25 pounds! Darn heaviest bird I've ever arrowed. Hope you enjoy.

Dang he's got some hooks on him! He's definitely not a 2-3 year old bird! And with archery...great trophy! Congratulations!

Great looking old bird. Big ups for nailing him with an arrow. What kind of broadhead? Where do you try to hit them?

Congrats! That's a good 'un! You definitely have the archery thing dialed in. I'd really feel sorry for the critters if you ever took up firearms...
