Me three........especially since I can tag along with these guys and not worry about getting plunked or sets messed up by my fellow PA hunters.
Plus in PA a blind MUST be an artificial type that completely encloses the hunter from the sides and top. We cannot use makeshift or natural constructed blinds nor can we set up like the HB guys do with an artificial screen.
That really cuts down on the mobility.

I enjoy the shotgun hunting alot, and for some reason the thought of ripping them to shreds with a broadhead doesn't hold as much appeal to me....most likely the potential "mount" factor.

First and foremost a deer bowhunter but I am loving this turkey thing.....I'm sure I'll hunt them with a bow (I have in the past) but I like everything the shotgun affords me, limited time to hunt, mobility and effectiveness.

On a scale of 1-10 for adrenaline rush: Deer 10....Turkey 5....Enough said!!!!

Honestly, I believe that I enjoy turkey hunting more than deer hunting. I can't pick a main reasons, its more of a combination of a bunch of reasons. The weather is nice, the sounds of a spring morning comming to life are better than a fall morning, the smells of the foliage blooming, the beauty of a longbeard strutting in a green field, and probablly the biggest is the interaction with the animal.

Taking my bird with my bow this year just furthered the passion and I am really kicking myself for not getting a second turkey tag so I could take the 82nd out for Round 2. I did take my girl out this morning. Archery hunting for deer to me is just more of a "lazy" style of hunting. Set-up in a treestand and just wait, where as with turkeys I am interacting with them and actively pursuing them.

Don't get me wrong, I love archery hunting, but there is just something about make a few yelps on a slate call as the sun rises over a green field and hearing the thundering sound of a gobbler waking up in the morning that just gets me goin!

Over the past several years the turkey bug has bedded deeply under my skin. I've tried the bow thing a few times now, but my windows to hunt are rather small, and to anticpate getting multiple good chances at birds each season, isn't very realistic for me at this point. So the bow will probably get retired and only be brought out after at least one bird is down for the season. Or I start hunting spots and develop the calling skills neede to be able to call birds in at a much higher rate than I currently do.

I love to hunt both animals with a Bow or a Gun! Our Spring turkey hunt is a 5 day season so I split the season between Bow and Gun, it all depends on how I feel that morning and how the weather is as to which weapon I choose! In the Fall if a Turkey happens by my stand while bowhunting deer in the AM or PM I'll take a shot. After the morning set I'll go in search of the Birds until time for the evening bowhunt!

Wow, this is how I feel to a T.

People think I'm crazy because I like turkey hunting more, especially in MN where we get 5 days to hunt. I think it is in my blood.

I'm nowhere near as dedicated to turkey as deer. Might be why I'm 0 for 2 in the turkey department[:@]

Turkeys are a good way to pass Spring be it with a Bow or Gun. The Fall Big Game (Deer included) are my Passion.
