I've hunted deer with a crossbow for years and it's challenging to say the least. I've harvested several deer with it over the years and have tried hunting turkeys with it as well.
Best tactic for hunting turkeys is from a ground blind and have a 2 turkey decoys setup . Turkeys are not spooked at all by the presents of the blind.

Give the crossbow a try Muddy, pick one up at a Dealer and try it. I recommend Excalibur but what ever feels good to you.


The crossbow/compound archery debate is so old guys.

I would loved to be able to carry a hand gun in my back pack but Canadian laws won't allow it.
