Default RE: Bowhunting Turkey 101--novice questions

One thing I might add here is the broadhead. You may want to try the Gobbler Guillotine! This is a very large broadhead intended for turkeys. Shooting a turkey with a bow is very difficult due to the size of the vitals. They are tough birds and unless the shot is perfect you may lose him. My son shot a jake last fall and made a "perfect" shot. In fact the arrow went right through the vitals but for some reason didn't put him down. We ended up searching and finally finding that bird over 200 yds. from the stand location. The Guillotine, I believe, is a much better broadhead for turkeys.
