Gloves shouldn't affect your ability to shoot.  If it does, you have some issues with mechanics/grip. :twocents:
lol.i bet.

set up a decoy tonight n called in a tom.he saw me plain as day.i cut my gloves so they work now n painted my face.i think i need a face mask or to start wearing my woodland camo rather than my multi cam.
that was exciting as all hell.i am having a blast.
i got out of there pronto n they still had a half hour of light left.they have been roosting by there for over a week.did i spoil that spot?

My experience is that they may move to another roost tree, but usually will stay within a hundred or two yards of where you're seeing them.  The birds I was working were in the same roost trees for 2 days until I nailed a 20.5 lb Rio, and then moved to a different roost tree the next 2 nights that were still within 100 yards of the original.

Well worth the expenditure ...

I always tell people there are only 3 rules to turkey hunting:
1) Don't let them see ya,
2) Don't let them see ya, &
3) Don't let them see ya.

I might add another one, hunt where the turkeys are/want to be.   :chuckle:

Yelping is all that's needed 95% of the time.


I think Jason means "Phelping" is all that is needed 95% of the time.   :chuckle:

You ever watch the episode of Duck Dynasty when they go turkey hunting?  I've labeled Si's little dance "phelping".  Can't wait to try it out next week.

well i called one in last night n put a shuttle t right through him.he flew off n i couldnt find him today or last night.
my arrow blew through him n burried in the gravel pretty deep.so i dug out some lighter arrows today n turned down my bow to 55 lbs.i think 475 grains n 7o lbs is a little much for turkeys.i also screwed on my grizz tricks for a little more cutting diameter n adjusted my pins.
if my ordeal last night did not scare the rest out of the area i believe i am better prepared for them this evening.
that there must be like a queen turkey.i have yet to call one of them in

Sounds like you might have hit a bit low through the breast w/o any vitals.  Both birds I've gotten with the bow went right down, one was trying to fly but had a broken wing to go with his internal injuries and the other had a broken hip and wing and basically fell on his face after the shot.  Both shots were pass thru so I wouldn't have worried about having too much energy.

How close did you get for your shot?  Just curious, no bashing planned.   ;)

Good luck getting on them again.
