My first three turkeys were with the bow and arrow. Now, I use a shotgun to be more effective if I want to pull the trigger. For me, turkey hunting isn't so much about the kill,as it is about the calling. Now, deer hunting is different. I bowfish. I bowhunt. Maybe, one day I will go back to turkey hunting with a bow, but right now, I enjoy the run and gun approach to turkeys more than sitting behind a blind. Now, don't get me wrong, I was determined to kill my first bird with a bow and then did so twice more (without pop-up blinds, I might add). However, I learned that that wasn't the part that I enjoyed. However you enjoy the hunt is how you should go after them.
