Jim Burdic sent me this photo and the following story.

" In the photo, Michael Parish is on the left, and myself (Jim Burdic) is on the right. We both live in Fulton and the turkeys were harvested in the town of Volney on May 2.

"Yes, we both shot the turkeys with bows and this was Michael's first with a bow.

"Michael is hearing impaired, therefore I do the calling for him. We were hunting from a ground blind and both turkeys came in together right up to our decoys.

"Michael shot first and then I shot the other turkey, as it stood there wondering what just happened to his buddy. The distance of both shots was approximately 20 yards.

"I have been faithfully and successively hunting spring turkeys with a bow since 2004."
