Fall Turkey Success in New York


Jim Serra of Baldwin, Long Island traveled to Westchester County on November 8, 2009 for an early morning deer hunt.

Jim has been bow hunting for 40 years and finally had a opportunity at a fall gobbler, which he says is "harder to harvest than a deer."

On the morning of November 8th, Jim watched a flock of about 30 turkeys 60 yards away when three gobblers broke away and headed towards Jim's stand.

Jim arrowed the gobbler at 25 yards with a Rage broadhead - three flops and it was over. w

The longbeard weighed 19 pounds, had a 7 1/4 inch beard and 1/2 inch spurs. Congrats to Jim on his first fall longbeard with a bow!

There are still a few more days left of turkey season which Closes in Westchester on November 20th. Hunters can take two birds of either sex during this season.
