I've killed 2 turkey since I started turkey hunting, both with a bow. My buddies on our lease are always offering to loan me their shotgun but I enjoy setting up my blind and decoys in a field and calling them in.

Who hunts em with a bow. I'm really pumped about this season.
 
I plan on trying to kill my last bird with a bow if I fortunate enough to kill 3 others with a shot gun. but idk depends how the season is going. I hate hunting out of a blind so I don't know how much ill like going with a bow.
 
If I bow hunt for turkeys I wont be using a blind but it will be hard not to bring the shotgun. I have already decided for this spring, if I get lucky again and kill the first 3 early in the season and don't want to tag out early, I will pick up the bow for the 4th. If it's a tough season, I will probably just shotgun hunt through the entire season.
 
Love bow hunting turkeys try to get a couple a year with the bow got 6 so far with 4 of them being on film
 
I do, OK cross bow, but there are no greated bragging rights then nailing a big bird with a bow. Get them close and "stick" um. :cool:
Although I'm going to try a muzzle loader shot gun this season just for kicks. May have to wait a few seconds to see if I hit it! :D

You want more of a thrill? Use a kickstand and sit next to a tree. Now that's a challenge. :)

How do you even draw on a bird out in the open?

There ya go! Do it at the truck!!!
 
I gun hunted last year but I'm going back to the bow this year. I won't be hunting out of a ground blind either. I hate those things.
 
Ground blinds are tough to hunt out of on hot days. Otherwise I enjoy hunting out of my blind. For you folks that don't like the blind what do you not like about it?
 
I like ground blinds, have two set up in a couple of "hot" areas. One thing for sure USE Permethrin, I works extreamly well for ticks, chiggers. I have watch a few walking up my snake boots and fall off dead. I even spray my shotgun/bow and ground blind. Read the directions, not to be used on bare skin.

during turkey season I am to mobile for a blind most of the time. I usually only use them if im taking kids. I just don't like hunting out of them for turkeys or deer. I feel like im cheating out of a blind especially for turkeys they could care less about a blind.

Cheating ???? Now that will get the hornets all stirred up. I like the kids in them though.

lol im not trying to stir anything up at all. I will hunt a kid out of them all the time. I said I feel like im cheating I didn't say it was cheating or anything like that. I just not a fan of them I like to be out there in the elements with nothings but me and the birds. but it is a great way to take a kid and make it fun for them.

no mobility, tough to enter or leave without making noise, I like to sneak around a lot and quietly sit down under whatever tree I need to set up on a bird. A blind is only in one spot unless you make a lot of racket and move it. I haven't spring hunted with a bow yet, but if I do, the only difference is I will try to set up with more ground cover to hide in.
