The Almost Bow Gobbler

I recently went hunting with a good buddy of mine because he wanted me to video him shooting his first turkey with a bow. As some of you might know, shooting a turkey with a bow is a very challenging endeavor. It was foggy and raining that morning and we both situated in a tent blind. As you can see in the video, my friend shot over the bird into the turkey’s left wing. Afterwards we talked about it and he said he had shot his 20 yard pin and that is why he was high. Another thing we neglected, was to run out when the bird hit the ground and make sure he was dead. We were both caught up in the moment not realizing the turkey had just been stunned and that there was not a lethal shot. It happened so quickly. Even though we did not harvest the bird we still had a great time.
