how many folks here have killed with a bow? not talking about crossbows vertical bows. I've killed over 20 with a bow completed archery slam bout 7 yrs ago. usually kill one or 2 every year with a bow

I could kill em with a bow. But I don’t like to deer hunt em. Set up a blind over a plot and wait on em, just ain’t no fun to me. I like the run and gun on their turf. Guy I know has killed a pile of em with a bow out of a double bull blind.

Not knocking deer hunting turkeys, just not my thing is all. And I don’t think I could kill one with a bow in open ground in the woods.

I like the smell of gun powder to much to attempt to Bow kill one.

A couple just to say I did. Wasn’t near as much fun.

Ive killed some in the fall with a bow, but never have spring hunted them. I've been thinking about it using one if thise long bladed broadheads and shooting the head off a bird. But, I doubt I do it this year.

killed prolly a dozen er more. I used to put a small(20x28") screen on the front of my short compound to hide my draw, worked good. Killed with a compound, recurve, and self made longbow/stone point rigs. Some from a pop up blind, brush blind, no blind set ups.

that's incredible Fred!!! to kill one with a recurve or longbow is a huge accomplishment.im still trying to be good with a compound 24 yrs of archery tournaments and still working on it. longbow or recurve is truly impressive.

I've never felt any desire to try with a bow. Lugging a bow around the turkey woods seems awfully cumbersome

I have a hard enough time with a shotgun!!

Ive had rios at 5 yards…deer hunting in texas where its legal to killem in the fall..just..was not very appealing…to me..huntin a turkey in the fall is about like buildin a snowman in july..it just aint right…an i just aint into bowhuntin a turkey

I’ve missed like three, knocked feathers off one, and boogered one up; all just sitting against a tree with no blind. That chit is hard and I went back to my shotgun

I’ve done it with a compound with and without a blind. The trick without a blind is to pull low poundage. Like 50 lbs. draw slow and draw sitting down. You don’t need deer bow weight to put one through. Would love to give it a go with my longbow. Seems like you won’t be able to sit against a tree and pull that off. Probably need to be in your knees with some front cover and I’m not patient enough yet.
