They can't see you draw when they're facing away in strut. [/quote]

That just happened to be where I was picking a spot. From 32 yards back, the white spots in the target is all I could really get a "burn" on. After that I did study some turkey anatomy, from what I heard, on a broadside bird like that, you want to be behind the wing butt about 2" and 2/3rds up.

I realize that a turkey with a trad bow is pretty much impossible. It's okay, I don't really like eating the [bleep] anyhow.


I'm Irish...

Of course I know how to patch drywall
