Nebraska Turkey - Tomorrow !! Success !!

I duck down and get my range finder and ease up again, but I cant get a good reading because of some tall grass in the way.
I ease back down, pondering the distance....
30yds? 35yds?
I decided it was 35yds.
I drew my bow as I was hunched down.
And I slowly stood up and settled the \'gap\' of 35yds on my pins.
The grass obscured my view just a bit, but it was about half way so I knew my trajectory would clear.
He noticed something wasnt right and wasnt strutting - just looking around
And the arrow was released!!!

TWACK!!!
The arrow hit him and he folded like a worn out lawn chair!
I nocked another arrow and got ready to shoot again if needed.
I slowly walked out to the field and saw 2 hens wondering what happened
I eased up to the tom.
He still hasnt moved a twitch
I saw my arrow a few feet beyond the bird.
He flapped once and never moved again

Aaron came and picked me up at 1030. He didnt have any luck.
He didnt know that I had shot a tom and when he turned around to get me, he saw 3 jakes going across the green field!
He said \'Lets go get them\'!!
Well, I said \'I shot one\'
He grabbed his bow and we went back to the green field.
There they were! We hunkered down as they made our way toward us in the bottom of the draw.
I ranged them. 61yds. But they didnt offer a shot in the thick brush

Good job Brad. That was a good read, enjoyed the story. I\'m ready for our season. No way I could hunt our birds with a bow. I\'ve thought about it but a lot of places I\'m apt to call one in is pretty thick. Congrats, those birds are pretty, I may out west and shoot one just to mount one of these days. I\'ve always liked those light tipped tail feathers.
