Coug, if I were you I would get one or two under your belt with the shotgun before I tried my hand with the bow.

I'm not saying its impossible to get your first turkey with a bow, but it will be pretty damn hard. If you've got a good blind you can use, that changes things a bit, but it'll still be difficult.

What I usually did (we're allowed two birds on my side of the state per year) is I would get my first one out of the way with the shotgun, then hunt the rest of the season with the bow. I have yet to tag one with stick and string.

Considering we're starting filming for our DVD this spring, we're only going out with the bows.

Whichever you choose, good luck. Its a blast!
