I don't bow hunt them. I'm too worried about making a good OR bad shot on one and him still running or sailing off to feed the coyotes and wildcats. I have mortally wounded one with a shotgun never to be found and it still bothers me. I love them too much.
Would still like to try one day, no blind or decoys of course.
Still interested on what others use for head shots or body shots.

I tried it once about 20 years ago. Never cussed so much my entire life. Drew back 4 different times that season, got busted every time. Haven't had even a remote desire to pick the bow back up in the spring.
OFC, this was running and gunning, using natural terrain and vegetation, the way I like to hunt. When they come in looking for a hen, it's awfully darn hard to reach full draw even when they are in strut and turned away. I refuse to sit in a blind and hunt them like deer. Just isn't for me.

Mine is a super black eagle 2.
Like mega, I tried it with just natural cover and terrain and failed miserably. It was a calamity of errors, misses, spooked birds etc, I hung that up.
Anyone who kills turkeys with a bow with no blind or decoys gets a ton of respect from me. That's as hard as it gets

HA, I like shooting them in the face to much with a shotgun to even bother with a bow. those that due in natural cover are on another level IMO lol.

Every year I tell myself that after I kill my first bird that I am going to pick up my bow. It hasn't happened yet. If I ever get to the point that busting one with my shotgun doesn't make my heart go pitter-patter, I'll give it a try. Until then, I'll not deal with the bow frustration.
And, all the respect in the world for the folks that chase the birds and kill them with a bow without the blind/decoy scenario! You are better hunters than me!

I have a coworker who has done it more than once. His ideal setup involved kneeling with a large tree on his left side (which was also the way the bird would be approaching), come to draw, and shoot as the bird cleared the tree.
