Welcome to the most challenging and rewarding type of hunting on earth. I used to tell first time turkey bowhunters to try shotgun hunting them first to learn how to respect this animal's incredible sense of sight, but now with the type of ground blinds available, it's become very feasible for newcomers. That doesn't mean it's easy, you'll still be faced with all the challenges of turkey hunting, but it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Right now, bowseason is near and I do have my mind on deer.....but I'm looking forward to March 15th 2009 more than anything, I'm completely addicted. Be sure to stay active on here and get to know some of us, come spring time you can learn a lot about turkey hunting as these forums explode with turkey hunters that time of year.The spring contest on here is a great time to learn a lot, it's always a lot of fun. There's a fall contest as well if you're interested, I'm sure you could learn a little by taking part in it. Good luck!
