I use a Pearson "Deadhead" , supposedly that is what BP designed them for, combined with a "string tracker"
But then I have yet to get a shot off on one of these damn Easterns with my recurve, so I cannot tell you how it works........ yet....

Trophy pics are kind of gruesome after those and your taxidermist will love you.   :chuckle:

I use the same broadhead as for deer, a Magnus 125 grain, the wide one. And as turkeys are hard to put down with a bow I ALWAYS use a string tracker. Saves a lot of birds from being lost.

Also have had good luck with regular broadheads.

Every on that I have met that hunts turkeys with a bow, has had them fly or run off. I think Callmakers advice should be taken.

Callmaker: your scratch box call goes with me when ever I turkey hunt. I am sold on a wingbone call and a scratch box call used together.

HangFire-

Wingbone/scratchbox is a good combination. That's about all I ever carry any more myself. It has always been a productive mix for me.
