I think a man made blind does give an advantage.

Hunting and theequipment we use changes, deal with it. Or throw away your turkey calls and try and sneak up on a turkey and spear it.

And Yes, Bruce. The King's hyperfast bow DOES indeed dilute his accomplishment when he shoots a deer. Animals stand no chance against such an awesome weapon. It's true.
Then I am guessing you will be hunting Tom's out of a ground blind this year LOL .

It's still harder than deer hunting.

So, Teejay is a guy who does it the hard way. Mad props. The King has tried and failed many times. That's not easy.

Let the record show, however, that the King has not - and will not - hunt from a ground blind. He refuses.

Just saying: I think if you took the ground blinds away from a lot of our "turkey bowhunters" there would be a whole hell of a lot less toms eating the shaft this spring. At least me thinks so. []

The King also thinks that if it wasn't REALLY easier to do it with a ground blind - everybody wouldn't want one. [:-]

One question: Does he use a white ground blind there and put it in the middle or does he use a gray one and setup along the side?

Kinda like taking away our treestands for deer hunting, Fran???? I agree it's easier with a stand.

I think the number of archers who've taken aturkey with their bow would go way down, also.....if you took away the ones killed out of a treestand.

I need all the help I can get with bow turkeys. But I'm gonna either ditch the blind if I get one this year......or go longbow in '09.
