As you know by now, I hunted turkeys this year for the first time with a Predator Recurve Bow.
I knew it would be a challenge, and I wasn’t disappointed.
I was fortunate to hunt an area with lots of birds, and it’s a good thing because I needed all the help I could get.
After several days in the woods, a fair amount of perseverance and lots of luck I was able to connect on a nice long beard.
That bird had a ten inch beard and three quarter inch spurs. A real nice bird for sure, but in my mind, I’ve never been more proud of an animal.
This hunt was especially rewarding. I set a goal before the season to take a bird with my recurve, and even though it wasn’t easy, I stuck with it and got the job done.
My transition from a compound bow was helped considerably by Eric Lafollette at Jay’s Sporting Goods, and the great guys at Hunters Niche Archery (makers of the Predator Bows).
You can see the entire show this week on The Sportsman Channel and broadcast TV stations across Michigan. It will soon be available on our website at this link as well.
My next goal….to take a nice Ontario black bear with the Predator later this summer. I’ll keep you informed….
