It is much harder to shoot a turkey out of one of those Double Bull Blinds with the central A/C and kitchenette in them than shoot a deer from a tree stand? I don't think so!
I have no problem with someone using a blind to bow hunt turkeys,but there is no question the degree of difficulty is considerably less.The most important piece of the equation there would be where you set up,and thumping the Tom where you need to.

Movement is more difficult to get away with with the shotgun.Weapon used more difficult with archery equipment.It is probably a wash.Now factor in super duper choke tubes and Hevi shot,where you can dump them at 45 to 50 yards with the shotgun,then I don't know.

I see what you're saying. Using a blind definitely makes the task a bit easier. Let's not beat around the bush though. We might as well call it cheating. I think the same goes for deer hunting. We are sitting 20-30' up in our comfy stands waiting on our unsuspecting prey to walk by. Binoculars and a range finder wrapped around our necks with our 300+ fps bows in our hands. That doesn't seem too fair either.

Just for the record, I've never hunted out of a blind. However, I'm buying one real soon specifically for turkey hunting this spring. Although I've never done it; hunting from a blind doesn't guarantee a kill. I'd still say its a challenge but it no way compares to hanging upside down in a tree with a longbow in hand.[8D]

I've done both.

Which is easier?

My opinion is the shotgun by a big margin.

Shotgunning a turkey is bar far easier than killing one out of a blind with a bow.
