turkey hunting bows

<< < (3/3)

You gotta trim your burlap/fabric/foliage on the bow arm and shoulder so your string doesn't get caught up on release. You also have to trim around your face or your string will get caught up there too when you anchor. They're nice for getting really close but a pain when paired with traditional equipment.

Brad, is your season open yet? Ours opened the 25th.

 I set up the decoys every morning and evening this weekend but abandoned them an hour in each time for stalking. There are too many female turkeys in my spot and the toms have a lot to choose from.  They're not wanting to leave their 10 hens for my one hen and jake lol.

Stalking and calling is working great for me! I try to get inside 50 yards in thick cover, closer if I can, and call from there.

Got inside 20 yds the first day but a pine tree blocked my shot for too long and they wandered off. Second day I was calling a group down in a valley and unknown to me a group was coming up behind me! Two gobblers and 6 hens walked 10 feet from me but I couldn't get turned around without spooking them. It was a rush! Third day got inside 30 yards of a tom with his beard dragging on the ground, but low hanging branches blocked the shot. He was surrounded by hens and they pecked their way up to 5 yards away and spotted me.

No ethical shots yet! Can't wait for next weekend. Wishing you the best on your hunt!
