I just wanted to know if anyone here has bow hunted turkeys without a pop up blind, and have you been successful. Also i wanted to know how you set up to keep hidden.

I do, just because I like to do it with a longbow. Impossible with a blind. I can't say I have been successful. But close. I just pick a very large tree and stand mostly.

My setups are usually on field edges with decoys in the field with heavy wooded edges or even banks on the edges.

I've done good in a tree!!

I killed my first turkey ever this year, with my bow, no blind. I just camoed up,,..applied face paint, and used the natural terrain as my cover. I was able to draw when he wasnt looking.

My wife is attempting to do the same, she'll get it done too.

First Turkey I killed with a Bow was without a blind. Setup by a huge tree. Do Not Move when the Turkey has his eyes on you.

It is much easier with a Blind. I have killed several out of a Blind.

I never hunt with a blind, mainly because I've never set out to get one... anyways the most important thing to remember when finding a tree or brush pile or whatever, Make sure that the object is wider than your shoulders. Really helps to break up your outline.
