Spring Turkey Hunting- Anyone?
PEARL DRUMS:
I live for it. I take a week off EVERY year to chase turkeys with a self bow. I dont use blinds, but I do use a decoy here and there. Its easier to get a poke at a turkey with a bow and no blind that one might think. Of course the ground your hunting can make or break that deal. I hunt thick farmland fence rows and woods with lots of hiding spots.
J-dub I say a prayer every turkey hunting morning becasue I dont have to worry about wind for once! But I still find myself checking the wind as I stalk.....some habits are hard to break.

I'll be chasing my first turkey this year. We have quite a few around here too so it should be fun. I could probabely sit in my front door and take one as they like to parade by the porch every morning and evening before they roost about 100yds from the house, but then again thats not very sporting so I will move to the end of the pasture and set up a ground blind in the cedars to the south.

I am a pretty aggressive, move around turkey hunter. I am thinking about stickbow this year for turkeys and with this moving, I would rather not use a blind. Any other thoughts and suggestions for archery turkeys w/o a blind??

Wait for a single gobbler, let him walk past you, pray he goes into full strut and then fire an arrow up the tailpipe! In full strut all the feathers in the fan point to the heart of the kill zone. About the only time you can move is when his view is blocked by his fan. Good Luck!

Man I flippin hate turkeys!!!! Ironically I shot my first gobbler with a bow last season while I was deer hunting. It was the same day I got my buck. Funny because my brother was turkey hunting all week and came up empty handed. Anyway I'm considering taking out my 2nd selfbow and seeing what happens, should make it interesting.
