They can be tough to kill with a bow. It's a small target with small vitals, and their eyesight can be really tough to beat. I've shot two, and didn't recover either. One was a bad shot/bad hit. The other was a pretty good hit, but it flew after the shot into a thicket and I never could find it. That's one thing tough about hunting them with a bow. If they get off on you, it's not like they leave a good blood trail like a deer would. If you are going out exclusively for turkey with a bow, you might consider adding one of those tracers to your bow. I can't recall exactly what they are called or who makes them, but it is a really fine string on a spool that mounts to your bow. If you punch an arrow through something, and it runs or flys off, you just follow the string to them.
