Y25 Relayer / Fall turkey Success !
Been watching this tom for awhile , but have never had him close enough for a bow shot ...
Until this morning .... braved the rain , and caught the tail end of the morning down pour .... was starting to doubt my decision to hunt this morning when I saw a hen pecking her way along a corn row corridor towards me .
I had a jake and hen decoy set up 70 yards North of my ground blind ( I do that as a distraction so the birds see the decoys and don't hang up out of range ... I find fall decoy set up's are much different then spring hunt ) .
The hen passed and about 5 mins later , this tom sauntered in ... he didn't have clue I was there .
It was amazing how much of a water spray cloud there was when my bow released !
Excalibur Y25 Relayer Crossbow
12 yard shot .
30 yard recovery distance ( he flapped down the bank to the swamp ).
Boo String , Munch mount .
Gold Tip Carbon Laser II , with 125 grain Innerloc Broadhead .
No field pic's because of the rain ... but I got a few quick shots after I dried him off in the barn ... Man those are the longest spurs I have to date .
Off to work now .... I'm on aft shift , but carved a new tree near a spot that showed decent buck sign this morning .... Hope tomorrow morning is as productive as this morning !

Congrats on your turkey. I like that setup for the picture. Is there anything you don't hunt?

That is a great bird well worth getting wet for. You will never remember a couple of hours extra sleep but you will remember getting this bird.
Hunt eat sleep repeat.

Nice big tom for sure. Good job. I may now have to grab a tag for one of those as well as the deer.
I hunt for memories, the meat's a bonus!
Re: Y25 Relayer / Fall turkey Success !
Congratulations!!!!! What a beautiful photo!
BTW, if anyone has any leftover turkey feathers let me know, I have an aboriginal friend who is looking for some (as well as a deer hide).
