Sitting in a tree stand I was able to watch two longbeards make their way up to my buddy and his son on the other side of our food plot. Everything looked good when his 12 year old son smoked the bird with the arrow. For whatever reason they sat in the blind. probably knowing I was over here. well after 10 minutes of laying there that bird got up and ran off with an obvious broken wing. Hate to see it. IMO when shooting turkeys always get up immediately and huff it to the bird.

Hate to see one less gobbler for the spring, but I think they learned a lesson. My buddy has only killed a couple of birds.

Birds were gobbling too. Gets me excited for spring. Bummer that bird is long gone.
