Default RE: A Dieing Breed?

Only been out a couple times, with the bow both times. Had I had a shotgun, the game would have been over a lot quicker, and easier at that. I do not anticipate using anything but my bow to hunt these birds. Did some run and gun type hunting with the bow that first day, never had a tom respond or anything, so I did not get a chance to draw with a lot of eyes around. i would think that would be tough, we'll see in a couple weeks when i try again, but no plans to take a gun. My take is that with a blind and a gun, there is not a lot of sport, IMHO. i will most likely try a blind with the bow for morning flydown and first couple hours, but after that hide behind a tree. When in the blind you need the windows open fairly good for the bow, not like a gun where a couple inches will do. I'm a newby though, so ask me again in a few years. So far, I feel these birds are dumb, but they see real well, lol.
