Had a ton of birds coming to the roost last night. From what i could see, there were 3-4 toms and about 4-5 hens. First tom came by around 43 yards and once he saw the blind or something out of the ordinary, he skirted out to out of range…a hen comes by around 40 followed by a second tom that was about 40 also. I drew my bow and had to move a little to my right into the window. By this time i had the bow drawn for about 20 seconds or so but i finally got the pin on him.
I watched my arrow fly perfectly towards him and right about when it was going to hit him, he lifted his wings and the arrow went right in the middle of his wing completely missing his body 
I know turkeys drop their body’s right before they fly so that could be an explanation 
Either way, this is the same spot where the turkeys have seem sketchy about blinds so im going to give the spot a rest for a couple days and then try it again. They did however roost in the pines after i shot, but i busted them out of the roost when i went to check my arrow 
I hope they’ll be back….
