I'm making my maiden turkey voyage with the bow this year, Ol' Slice is taking me out teaching me the ropes.

I'll be in this year with the bow. Going two weeks to inlaws in Southern Indiana. Bow first week or until I want to kill something than switch to shotgun. If done early and no one else wants to hunt probably cruise over to Missouri and hunt public.

I will be taking the same setup as whitetail. But I will probably back the draw down five pounds or so.
Hoyt Vtec w/ Grim Reaper 100's shooting about 255 fps.

It will be a long two weeks of hill hiking and a sore mouth from calling.

Lefty,
Just be carefull when someone says they are going to "teach you the ropes". I remember when you told me that you were going to "teach me the ropes". What you didn't tell me was the "rope" was a drag rope, and that it was tied to your deer that I helped drag back to your truck! Hope you guys have good luck, seen a lot of turkey out there the last few weeks.

I will definately be there, Hoyt in tow.

Yep I will be after the long beards in the spring as well beings I have about a bazillion of them living in my woods right behind my house. During the fall I would count them flying up to roost from my treestand everynight and now we see them out feeding about everyday but come spring time they will break up and spread out to other woodlots.

I am planning to buy a ground blind, any suggestions on a blind big enough for me and my 11 year old son? Or maybe I will just set him on the ground and put me in the blind since he will be using a shotgun and I am bow only for everything.
