Crappie of the woods

[gooch]

Just couldnt bring myself to miss the opening of bow season even with the soaring temps. Had a food plot full of deer when I got there and managed to slip into my blind unoticed despite the lack of camo. Passed up shots at 2 does, 3 yearlings, a 3,6, and 8 point bucks before the crappie of the woods presented a shot. This is not only my first bow kill turkey but is also unique as it's the Rosie O'Donnell of the woods, a bearded HEN turkey. It threw the lady at the check station a curve as she didnt know if she should check it as a male or female. I told her since it had such big breast, no spurs and no obvious male part it must be a female and she agreed.
