Took a nice young hen Saturday with my Mathews. I was sitting on a little high wall with a road/bench with clover running underneath me. The hen came feeding through and I was able to make the shot. I was using a Magnus 4 blade stinger and the shot was quartering away. The arrow entered behind the right wing and took out the righ hip. She ran about ten yards and fell. I didn't weigh her but I'm guessing around 12-14 pounds. Just wanted to share!

BTW I checked the turkey section of the harvest results on KDFWR web site two days after I checked the bird, and noticed that Fall turkeys don't show up like they did in the Spring. Wonder why?

I checked back today and now you can search the fall turkey kills just like you can the deer so you can see the hunter's name, county of kill, etc.
