I wanted to take a spring turkey with a bow and no blind. I know you guy's think I'm crazy but I think I can do it.
It can definately be done, we killed almost every one of our birds with no blind this year.
As for the suit it looks great! Im impressed to say the least...One thing you might want to consider when making the top is that your bowstring will be zipping by your chest area so make sure you cut the material short on your chest and arm on the side you hold your bow.
Nice looking suit!
I thought about that, I think Im going to extend my netting a litlle so that I can flip it up when bow hunting. I will do the same thing with my face mask. I think if I make it long enough I will be able to fold it over itself so that it will be out of the way. I can already tell you that Im a little worried about the heat but I think I can work through it for a chance at a long beard.
I tried this year to hunt without a blind but couldn't put anything together. I bought a 3D leafy suit and thought I would blend well. I was wrong to say the least!! I hunt in an area were the birds are bothered a lot. I had 4 jakes come in and do a 180 at about 35 yards, I hadn't even moved yet. I think this is why it's such a challenge, when you call a bird he is expecting to see one when he comes in. I hope that with this suit I won't stick out like a sore thumb.
Thanks again guy's, your really helping me push through the monotony of looping all this twine.
