I dont shoot strutting turkeys w/ bow. when he lets it down id shoot right above the leg, maybe a little forward. just to much guess work when they are strutting. IMO then again I am a bit new to this bow hunting.

Thats a decoy in the first pic, right? Have you been having much success with decoys? BTW, I would shoot at the base of the wing.

Theres actually 2 decoys in the pic, one jake and one hen......man do these turkeys ever get worked up over them.....they come in strutting and gobbling and I never did a single call to them. Its happened multiple times and even the big toms get worked up. I had a tom with about a 10 inch beard come knock the jake over.....


and that is exactly where id aim.

I have a couple decoys I bought years ago but I've never really used them.[&:] This spring will be my first spring bowhunting them.

Just curious but where is the other decoy. I see the one on the right. Is the other hidden away on the left as circled?
