Here are a couple of pics from opening day in Nebraska this year. It was plenty cold out but the birds were defintly getting fired up. Can't wait to get after them again.

Muleystalker, good luck in the SD season, Everytime I go to Rapid City I see quite a few of them not too far past the state line along the highway.
Thanks too all for the compliments.

That's a nice looking turkey.

It looks like there is a broken arrow in your quiver. Was this from the arrow going all the way through and hitting the ground? Also what type of broadhead did you use?

The arrow stayed in the bird and broke when some other toms got after him and pushed him over into a draw. The shot was just under 40 yards and the arrow anchored in the far wingbone socket. I like to use montek g5 broadheads. There are probably better ones for turkey hunting but they fly very well with my setup and I thought I would stick with them because of that.

I've yet to find anybody that uses the broadheads that are set up for turkey hunting. Everybody uses the same broadheads that they use all the time for big game. I've always wondered if they were any good but I tink that when I get a chance to hunt turkey again that I'll stick with my same old hunting tips also. If it's not broke don't fix it right?

I use the turkey thumpers by muzzy.they fly true and from what I've seen they knockem down nice.I gave a friend one a couple years ago and he took a nice 19# bird.Hopefully I'll take one this weekend and I'll have my own experience with it in a bird.target shooting with them they fly great just got to get used to em being a little heavier than the broadheads I use.I was looking at those gobbler guiatines but it looks like you have to hit the bird in the neck for a clean killing shot as the way they are made looks like they wouldn't penetrate the birds body.
