Who bowhunts turkeys?

[oldleclercrd]

Just wondering who has killed one. Ive killed plenty with a shotgun so its time to breakout the bow. Whats the best method with a bow? Do you use a blind so they wont catch you draw?

A ground blind is almost a necessity. But my best bird has been on a spot and stalk when we got in late one day trying to sneak to the blind, saw this gobbler and snuck to intercept behind some big bushes. Good luck

My buddy has killed a few with his bow.  I've never killed one so I Will be using a shotgun.

Yeah I figured as much, as far as them seeing you draw on them. Although, last spring I stalked a gobbler strutting for a hen (with a shotgun) and im confident I could have shot him with a bow, because I got within 20 yards when I shot him.

Hope to do it this year when I am over in Spokane for the WSAA State Safari... gonna go over a couple of days early and see if I can get on one... or two.... Good call on the blind.

killed 2 with a bow when I lived in KS when I was in a tree stand deer hunting. I used to have 20to 30 roost in the tree I was sitting in every night. First time scared the crap out of me.

Have tried a few times from ground blind but never close enough for a shot. Heck of a trophy with a bow

Ribka You can have one with a bow this year if you want to make the trip to Elk.

Been trying for an Eastern with my recurve, still unsuccessful

Bowhunting turkeys is a blast. I have killed 4 gobblers with a bow. Two were from  natural groundblinds I built near field edges. One out of a treestand, and one from the ground while running and gunning.

My brother has killed several with a longbow from the ground without a blind. These days he wears a ghillie suit, calls them in and waits to draw his bow until their vision is obscured by either their own tail fan or a tree, bush or rock, etc.

I've shot some birds with my bow.  Never out of a blind though.  Use of trees to hide my movement worked well and one out of a tree stand.

I love shooting them with a bow,  have found that blind and full strut decoyy works the best as of lately.  Running and gunning with a crossbow would be fun though

Now THAT'S hunting.  I would give it a try with my longbow, but I've only killed a few with a shotgun, so I'm not quite ready yet.
