RE: Spring turkeys
It takes a certain set of terrain features to effectively stalk a turkey. You need ridges, mountains, ditches, coulees, etc. Where I live, it is flat like a soccer field... you'd have a hard time stalking a turkey with a rifle.
I use a ground blind. You can still be fairly mobile and expeditious with one, but considering that you will probably be using decoys as well.... add up the bow, a chair, the blind, and decoys.... and pretty soon you'll want to hire a caddy.
