Hello brothers, It's been a while since I posted. Benn very busy with the opening of my new Archery Shop. Average Joes Archery here in Anoka MN. It's been very successful thus far. I just wanted to say hi and Good luck to all of my Bowhunting/Fifefighter brothers and sisters. Stay safe on the job and in the tree.

Comment by xxxxxxx on April 20, 2009 at 8:48pm - I never turkey hunted until last year. My third trip I got a turkey with 9 1/2 inch beard and no spurs. Is this a jake he weighed 24 pounds or was it a tom with no spurs?

First let me say that I didn't get to take my daughter out during this but she will the next time.
Ok where do I start, as a member of Young Hunters Unlimited I had the great previlge to take 3 kids out to KO some toms. I had Jaxon with me that first morning which was cold, windy and boring nothing moving. So that afternoon we went back to my Double Bull and sat and waited. 2 hours later Jaxon said "I need to go to the bathroom" darn now what, so I opened the zipper to let him out. While granddad watched the front I watched Jaxon so he didn't wander too far. Al of a sudden Granddad said "David look.....3 turkeys" oh yes there were 3 turkey not 30 yds away and Jaxon in the brush. I hurried Jaxon back although when he got in tripped on the blind door, made noise as he got sitted again......but your looking the wrong way. Granddad and I rushed to change his position, I just knew turkeys gone.....oh but no they still there great, now that is good. Ok yelp,yelp, yelp, cluck, cluck, cluck yes "Jaxon" I said "that one is a jake but it is ok you bust him when I say so" yelp,yelp, yelp, cluck, cluck, cluck "Ready" oops went behind tree. Oh there is the other one, a longbeard, yelp,yelp, yelp, cluck, cluck, cluck, "Ok when his head clears that little brush pile bust him" here he comes yelp,yelp, yelp, cluck, cluck, cluck "Now Jaxon get him" B O O M went his 20 gauge. ALLRIGHT Jaxon WAY TO GO was all you could hear. "Oh wait I need to take a photo for the website stay right there, point your shotgun like your shooting," I said. So I got out, got the shot focused and Granddad said "David did that turkey go down?" I said "way sure it did..........." but why is trotting around in circles towards me then. Jaxon shoot him again B O O M. He did turkey wobbled and kept trotting off. "Wait Jaxon" click almost forgot the photo. "Come on let's get him.....shoot him." B O O M this time a clear miss turkey runs to brush pile "Come on buddy we got him now" Jaxon B O O M and finally dead turkey.
So if you have kept track that was 4 yes I said 4 shots. Anyway a GREAT time was had by all even though the other 2 only harvested hogs the excitment was ever where that night.
Turkey was 21 lbs had 8" beard and 3/4" and 7/8" spurs

- Ok, big news. You may have seen my post about the Web Site a fellow firefighter and I set up. averagejoesbowhunting.com Check it out. sign up. enter the contest. Anyhow. My coworker was the Archery manager at the Coon Rapids MN Sportsmans Wharehouse store, well there going out of business. We are attempting to get the Bowtech dealership that Sportsmans had. We want to open Average Joes Archery. Anyone a business owner that can give me some advise? Exciting and scary at the same time. With the economy the way it is. Stay safe. Mac
