Branching Out For Timber Turkeys When most of us think of turkey hunting, we picture green fields and forest edges alive with songbirds and new leaves.

Massachusetts 8 Point Deer This is one of two deer that I harvested this past 2008 season in eastern Massachusetts zone 11. The first one was a 7 point, one hundred eighty pound buck. This one is my biggest to date, was an 8 point two hundred two pounds that I shot at forty yards. All deer that I have taken have been by bow only. I'm looking very much towards the 2009 season!
