turkeyPhoto by Lauren BerardI made my first bow kill on Tuesday, April 18th, the 4th day of our turkey hunt in Woodford County. I watched my first strutting and gobbling tom for about 40 minutes on a ridge almost 100 yards across the field. Not 5 minutes after that gobbler left 2 hens entered the field with a tom right behind them. He probably had already bred the hens because when he saw the Avian X breeder hen decoy he came in from about 70 yards straight for her. I shot him in the right leg when he was 15 yards from the blind. The tom flapped around and threw the arrow about 10 yards away. I shot the gobbler with my Elite Spirit Bow purchased and tuned at Select Archery in Normal, Illinois. I used Rage Hypodermic +P broadheads because I pull a lighter 48lbs. He flew out of the field down across the creek about 50 yards behind our blind. His beard measured about 8.9 inches and his spur was 1 inch and the other was broken off. He was most likely an older gobbler due to his measurements and the way his fan looked. I cooked him up by making a mushroom and wild rice casserole in my pressure cooker that night. I can't wait to take my next trophy with my bow because now I'm addicted for life!Photo by Lauren BerardI made my first bow kill on Tuesday, April 18th, the 4th day of our turkey hunt in Woodford County.

9ea057e7c6f42271f3d25b566f28cb46-4ef55b7335ffb.image_.jpgMY DREAM BUCK!
I killed him October 29, 2011 at 5:02 pm. Sun shining and temps not favorable. I was shocked to see him come in on a rope. I shot him at 23 yards and watched him tuck his tail and leave. After shooting him I saw a doe jump up from the brush and head the opposite way. That would explain why he was out. She had hid from him and he came across he field in the woods with me looking for her. That quick my life long dream of a giant buck was answered.

I got this 8-pointer right at dusk on December 2nd. I hunt alone and had a heck of a time getting it loaded. I hunt from a wheelchair 1 mile from the house and had to go home in my wheelchair to get my Jeep and go get it loaded. Luckily I got help from a hunter that was near where I hunt.
