just curious, how many of you will be going after turkeys with a bow this spring? I have yet to achieve success in the spring with my bow but will be attempting once again in march. let's hear some of your stories and pictures.

Nebraska Turkey archery opener comes in March 25th. I will headed out there the weekend after season opens to try for another Merriam Gobbler with my Bow, April will find me hunting out of a Double Bull in MO. with a bow for an Eastern Gobbler although the shotgun will be around just in case time runs short and Birds and/or Weather are not cooperative. May will find me back home to chase Easterns with a Bow. I always prefer the Bow but if I have to run and gun I enjoy packing my Remington
Good Luck to All!!

I'll be going for them this spring. Hopefully I'll get a Tag for Wisconsin and for my place in Michigan! I kinda want to kill one with the shotgun, I've never killed one with a gun, only with my Bow! I always take both and decide when I get out of the truck which one I'll use!

I'll be going after turkeys, I just don't know whether it will be with the bow. I would imagine I'll take the bow a time or 2.

yeah I have a tom every year with my 10 gauge 3 1/2 inch and this year I think I might take my bow...more excitement...pretty tough with the bow though...Have to be sitting a tent with the bow...I like to chase them around with the gun and put on a ton of miles trying to get in front of them..

I hunted turkeys for the first time last year......with a bow. I'm already looking forward to the Spring opener. 25 hunts, last spring, produced my first.

Yup, we're looking forward to it. NY has an early season weekend just for youngsters.

We just ordered a new blind using the return money on some extremely expensive long underwear that my wife bought me for Christmas (for some reason).

He'll be in the blind, and I'll step back a few yards and call.

On a side note, we'll be routing for the Pack this weekend. I hope it snows again!
