Sorry, folks, but I had to pull this thread due to some article writing obligations. Hopefully, the story will be in a national bowhunting magazine soon.

Congratulations Nice Tom, beautiful colors. Sorry you have to leave it there.

Thanks Darren for sharing that amazing trip with us. I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Was there no one down there who could have done a mount and shipped it to you? Probably too late now. I can see how you'd like to do that again. I didn't even know that sub species even existed. Beautiful bird. More then likely I did know, but as usual that memory has faded....

The only turkeys I've hunted are our easterns. I probably could have had a chance at another species in the Dakotas but my brother there probably didn't realize how much I'd have loved to hunt one.

Craig, ocellated turkeys are a CITES animal and the transportation and distribution of their body parts are controlled by international treaty. Basically, if you kill one you are welded to it until all the legal paperwork is done. We needed to leave in a hurry so there just wasn't time to get all that paperwork completed.

Congratulations Darren!
Bummer you had to leave your hard earned bird behind.

Uh oh. Sounds like I missed a breaking story. I'll be watching that, umm..."national publication"...real closely.
