MAN I CANT WAIT TO GO HEAD OUT ALREADY im using an ameristep intimidator,bought some new dekes and i am now workin on my bow...since this is my first year also i have been wacthin lots of shows and they usually place them within 10 yds of where they are with usually having a fake gobbler closer to them and a hen or two alittle further away...

I use the Cabelas Full-Draw blind. Turkeys are "dumb" when it comes to the blinds, so dont spend to much time brushing up the blind. For the decoys I like them very close, like 5 to 7 yards from the blind. Jake facing towards the blind and a hen or two facing awaying from the blind. The tom will ussually aproach the jake face to face so when u shoot he will be facing away from you. Good luck on your trek for a turkey with a bow. It is an absoulute blast. i dont touch the shotgun anymore....

I use a Jake facing my blind at about 10 yards & 2 hens facing away about the same only to one side & a couple yards from the Jake. If he addresses the Jake he will face him & if he goes for the hen he comes from behind (supposed to anyway). either way, gives you a shot between you & the decoy & him facing AWAY from you.
This will be my 7th year (missed last year) but it IS a RUSH for sure. Good Luck.
I use a Ameristep Blind & just ordered another for spring. They don't pay any attention to them unless you make noise or they see movement.
