I know its not queer, Politics, or making fun of anyone's religion.....

But it is near spring Turkey season.

I'm thinking about trying with the bow this year...but really haven't done that much turkey hunting.

i've tried it w/the bow for several years now...the only way i can get drawn back on em is if they're still on the roost, and they say that's not legal.

Have you even tried from a tree stand?

I thought about buying one of those thing-a-ma-jigs that look like a camo umbrella that you hang on the front of the bow. Ever used one of them?

This guy I know has plunked a couple from a tree during deer season to fill a turkey tag.....

yeah, i've tried from a tree stand...not much luck, but you've seen what i'm shooting at em with. didn't you notice the dirt caked in the tip?

Never spring hunted from a tree stand but I have had them around me in the fall (Missouri used to give you a couple of turkey tags with your archery deer tags). Granted it was fall that there wasn't any cover in the trees when I went. I noticed that, unlike deer, turkey see what's in trees as good as they see what's on the ground. I've never hit a turkey though I have lost several arrows because they were already running before the arrow got to them. They can be tough, even from a tree.

I'd say if thats what you're using, its definitely more of a challenge, for several reasons than the high dollar techno-bow Ahm using.

I'd consider it more of an accomplishment to get one the way you're doing it...much much tougher.


I guess you could always go with the bed spring and corn method. You could get drawn on them from there.....or the rat trap on a tree with the piece of corn(think I heard of that here).

mines custom made but you get the idea, i dont bow hunt w/ it though. i gun hunt kickin chickens.

i think you did too...
i like hunting w/my longbow better than my compound because it's so much lighter too...i can pack a few extra beers.

how the hell can you bow hunt w/one of those, mo? i'd be scared to death some of that $hit would get tangled up in the bow cams and cause a hell of a mess.
