Using a bow and arrow is the only way I hunt , never had a use for a firearm for any type of hunting.
I have taken many animals with my bow , it's alot more challenging and takes more skill.

I will be making my first bowkill this year!!! If everthing goes right.LOL
Me and my buddy Rob will be going to Kansas for gobblers the first of April.
Then I may take the bow with to Mich. with another friend. I took it last year and had a gobbler to within 30 yds but he would not come closer.

A ground blind is a must for bow hunting turkeys. They totally ignore the blind and makes drawing on the sharp eyed bird very easy.

I completed my ultimate goal last spring with the compound. Now I want to start my slam this year with a recurve.
