Congrats on a hard task , not many animals tougher. What broadhead did you use?

Setup wasn't anything special.  Samick sage in 50#.  Gold tip 340 full length with 100 gr brass insert + Zwickey delta.  Arrow weighs in at around 640 gr., I think.  If anything, I'm still surprised at how little penetration we get on turkeys.  I've been told but it's a whole different thing to see for myself just how such a small animal can stop a heavy arrow.

Congrats! Like said before, killing a turkey without a blind is one heck of an accomplishment. Then to shoot him at 4 yards and do it with a trad bow, that's rare. Excellent hunt and thanks for sharing!  :clapper:

Well done, surprised that gobbler didn't hear your heart pounding in your chest!
