MuleyMadness Hunting Forums

Got back home last night after venturing to the northern portion of the Golden State......I was hunting turkeys with two buddies from the area with my bow. Hunting was a lot more difficult this year, but plenty of gobblers to be seen. On Saturday, on the way back towards the truck, I spotted this gobbler making his way towards us on a ridge after we had unsuccessfully tried calling a few hundreds yards away. So, I did what I normally do......tried stalking him. Fortunately, I was able to get within shooting distance of the long beard and sent an arrow through him at 30 yards. I didn't realize just how big this bird was when I released the arrow......huge spurs! The local experts guessed him to be a 5 year old bird. Pretty darn lucky to have him. Hope you enjoy



Look at those 1.5" spurs!



The beard wasn't too bad either (10"):

Awesome turkey!!

That is SWEET!! I want a turkey so bad! Congrats on a GORGEOUS bird!

Hey can I share this pic on my Instagram page? (@true_conservationists) I have a post but need a turkey pic for it, and this is a GREAT pic!

What a bird and with a bow! Great job. Are you gonna stuff him or stuff him?

Well done Roy, well done!

Great looking bird.

Eight more days before our general season begins.


There are about fifty turkeys running around out behind my mothers place that I am going to put the hurtin to.
