Hi All, don't post much, but lurk allot. Trying to figure out this techno stuff, first try with pic.

Bird shot at 5:30 friday evening. Heard him gobble once, thirty minutes later he came in quite and struttin. He attacked my full strut decoy, that was a hoot! Drop in place when arrow hit him. Black widow 45#@28, goldtip and wensel woodsman.
Shot him in Coal county, Oklahoma. Missed two birds last weekend so am really pleased to seal the deal. Went birdless last year. Hope the pic works.

Thanks guys, The strutting decoy has added a whole new dimension to hunting turkeys for me. I seem to want to wait for the bird to attack the decoy just for the show, ends up in in real close shots.

Mr. Jones, as long as it was fun it sure enough counts in my book. That double shelfed BBO is still shooting like a dream but is to long to hunt out of my blind. Come by and say howdy when you get a chance.
