Well SIR I guess it depends on what kind of turkeys you hunt and how many you have takin over the years. If you hunt unpressured gobblers and you kill one or two almost every spring then I would go with the bow(to kinda make it a little bit of a challenge). But on the other hand the gobblers your hunting are very pressured and your lucky if you kill one every couple years then I would stick with the gun Just my two cents
