I had a great opener to the Kansas archery turkey season on Sunday. I called in two gobblers right at first light. When they passed the side of the blind at about 3 yards I could hear their wings dragging through the grass and their drumming provided eerie background music to the whole scene. When the first bird reached the front of the blind I sent a snuffer through his chest at a distance under 5 yards. He run about 15 yards, stopped, and fell over dead. Needless to say, I was just a little bit excited! He's my first with a bow and provided me with the most exciting hunt I've ever experienced in over 20 years of chasing spring gobblers. It may be hard to pick up the shotgun again.

Here's a couple of pics.



Thanks for letting me share my excitement. Hope everyone has a very safe and enjoyable season.

BMNm, congrats. Good job of sharing the fever. I have no birds with the bow, hate to admit how many years I tried. Going to try again in a couple of weeks.

Great job! the excitement you feel will linger for a long time. I got my first gobbler with a bow on the 24th of March, and I haven't come down yet. Congratulations! And you did it with a wrong handed Widow to boot. LOL.
