it is very difficult for sure...some are more fortunate then others...to be honest i have had better luck hunting them with bow on public land then on private!!!

first time out first shot at a bird with a bow 33yrds hit him right through the wing standing broadside and he dropped.....

had about 6 opportunities last year on private land for birds and could not get it done...i will say cover is a must for archery hunting and a blind is almost a must have in all conditions to be successful..i took the bird on public land on the ground but the terrain made that possible...on flat land you don't stand a chance...blind is a must, IMO....

i would first recommend working on calling...A LOT!!!! to call in a bird for shotgun is easy...to call in a bird for bow..to time it right to get him to come all the way in but not be looking at you when you have to draw back and get the pin on him is a whole nother story.....
