I tried taking a turkey with a bow and W/O a blind for several years and never got it done. However with a Double Bull, it is fairly easy so long as you are at the right spot.

I agree with others that bow and blind vs run and gun are about the same in level of difficulty, and maybe the bow is a little easier in not getting busted as easy, but you still have to get a little closer and not as mobile as compared to run and gun, hence less opportunities.

But aymore I only hunt turkeyswith a bow but alwayswith a blind. I enjoy photography in the Spring and the blind helps with that immensely whether it be turkey, deer,songbirds or whatever I am photographing.

So do I have to shoot a turkey? No, but if that big tom comes by or can be called in..........
