I got it done this morning! Unfortunately, the shot wasn't on camera, despite it being in the right position. Doh!
Shot was 20 yards...collapsed after 10 yards of flopping.

Heck yeah, nice shooting my man! Way to make it happen! Downpour this morning on our opening day, didn't waste my time. I'm watching the weather while chomping at the bit

Very, very, F'ing VERY nice! That is a beautiful bird, my heart thumps thinking of your arrow finding the mark. Way to go!

Nice gobbler, he looks heavy! Is that a Rio? Congrats!

Yeppers! We have mostly Rios around these parts...maybe some hybrids.

Congratulations, it can come together really quickly! Had a jake step out onto the trail as I walked out from deer hunting. He perked twice at 18 feet and I reacted with a pretty heart/lung shot.

Awesome bird Manolito!
