    Got this gobbler at 5 yards in full strut. Most intense hunt of my 19 year career! I'm hooked on bowhunting the Thunder Chickens!

    The other day I was scouting and toying around with a box call.........had a huge red head like 8 yards away from me. Unfortunately my tag doesn't kick in until May 7th......I hope he's around next month so I can pose him next to my bow too. Congrats

    I would definitely recommend the NAP Gobbler Getter. 70 lbs, 5 yards and the arrow STAYED IN THE BIRD! Tore him up too. When I breasted him out the damage was unbelievable. Great turkey head. Period.
