I don't turn down my Bow when I'm hunting Turkeys...but then again if I'm hunting for Deer I will be hunting for Turkeys at the same time/season so I'm not messing with the poundage and those turkeys are very smart and have some keen eye sight so they are very hard to shoot plus with their wings folded down against their bodies they are pretty hard to shoot all the way through!My friend shot a turkey as it was 1/4-ing away,the turkey folded up it's wings and ran off and he never did find it even in the snow!
