That's as close as they let me get

2 hours tracking them, they were very very sneaky. Given that I was on a sloped terrain, I naturally went for high ground which was a mistake, they can fly away from you much faster going downhill.

Turkey

I trailed them for 90 minutes on the worst terrain (these bushy woods in the back), 2 missed shots & 1 lost arrow later, a clean shot was very rewarding. Turkeys are very elusive, getting within bow range is tough.

Sorry buddy
