Default RE: with a bow?

I have hunted most all of my life with arrows only, not ever getting the thrill of the kill... If you will...

RH Hunter from Michigan has the right idea, I started in 1996for turkeys.
Long before portable blinds. I started cutting holes in dome tents & painting them camo in the fall & let them air out all winter.
1st kill was at 4 yards, I'll not soon forget thesound of3 birds spittn' & drumn' that close for over 5 minuets! Shot thru the side of the tent all I could see washis outline thru the nylon.
Since then I have graduated toaDouble Bull Matrix &a T-5 I use both and swear buy them. You can do anything you want in there, period !
Isometimes sit from 4am - 4pm! Eat, sleep, make coffee, video ect...
This year I am hunting Minnesota again, I found a Archery only area 300 acres & no guns! I use motion decoys, sometimes just a feeder. If Idraw a early seasona breeding pair, to much pressure here in WI but we have the birds! 132,000 permits per 6 week season in one zone alone.
If all goes well I will get 3 weeks this year, last year I had 4 but never went the last one. We can buy surplus tags over the counter from under applied for zones for 10 bucks. Minnesota has an archery onlytags for the last 2 full weeks till Memorial Day weekend. Youcan go any ware that issues 50 tags or more perweek. Turkey seasons in WI & MN run for just a few days per week ie. Wednesday-Sunday here in WI & thats it!

You'll love it if you patience, bring a comfy chair&watch w/your ears.
If you have sat in the woods & closed your eyes for 20 minuets or so you'll know what I mean.
