Eva Shockey’s First Bowfishing Shot Took Her First Fish

I've shot a compound bow most of my life, and I’ve learned I still can shoot my compound bow and/or recurve bow to take fish.

So, I had to learn to shoot instinctively.

How a Turkey Hunt Is Supposed to Happen But Doesn’t

So the moral of the story is: when you go turkey hunting, you never know what the turkey will do, even though you think you do. You never know what your turkey hunting partner will do, although you think you do. Also, you never really know what you’ll do, even though you think you do.

They can’t read, they can’t watch television, and therefore they don’t know what they're supposed to do. One of the biggest mistakes that most veteran turkey hunters make is
