My Wife's First Bow Kill

[Hogfan]

My wife killed this turkey with her bow on October 10th in Hickory County, MO. The beard was 11" and the spurs were 1". I was very proud of her to say the least. She has always went fishing and rifle hunting with me, but just recently took up bow hunting. We haven't got a shooter buck (4 on one side in Hickory County) within bow range but it's just a matter of time. She shoots a Diamond Edge bow with Gold Tip arrows and 3 blade Muzzy broadheads.

Tell your wife good job on the turkey. That is all Mekayla talks about is killing a turkey after she killed her first deer. Was she in a blind or up a tree when your wife killed her bird? Slider

Nice bird, nice pics.. But, now that she has invaded your fishing AND hunting trips, whatta ya gonna do for some quality alone time? lol (my wife smacked me as I typed this aloud)

dude, you think there is any way she is gonna let him use a photo of her "in the field"? Here's my guess:

there may be an "in the field" photo, but this ain't it. This photo was taken after she got home and cleaned up a bit (cleaned off her boots and brushed out her hair at minimum)

a lady thinks that any photo worth taking is worth taking right (bird and bow propped against haybale, clean outfit, etc)

can you blame her? She seems like a classy gal.

(don't nobody take offense now, I'm just funnin'... Glad she got out with ya and got her first bird, now she'll have the fever!)

She was about 25' up in a tree. We've got 2 Loggy Bayou stands in the top of a cedar tree so I can video all of her hunts.

You're right on the money Cricket!! She actually killed the bird the night before but once we recovered the turkey it was already dark. The next morning she cleaned up....fixed her hair...put a little makeup on and then it was photo time. As long as she keeps bagging birds like that, I guess I'll let her prepare for photos however she wants.

She's had them things for 5 years and never cleaned them once! She hunts probably 3 or 4 times a year but don't seem to get them dirty like I do. I don't get it...

Thanks...I caught that in Spring Branch on Table Rock
