turkeys with a bow this spring. I am getting a little excited about breaking in the new alliegance on a Turkey this spring. What are you guys going to be using for: bow, arrows, b-heads...

I am going to be using the Alliegance 29" 70#
Beman arrows
broadhead not sure yet, rocket maybe.

Not me, I will probably be scouting, shed hunting, and hanging stands for next season.

My tag is for May 2nd and am having a hard time waiting for all this snow to dissapear. I will be using my bow with Snypers again. Did the trick last spring.

I will be turkey hunting for the first time! Looking at the gobbler guilitine for my head but still haven't purchased one. What heads does everybody prefer or dislike?

HuntingNet will be having an get-together in Branson, MO this May. It's called the the Tails 'n' Scales Bowbash. It's a combo of turkey hunting on public land and bowfishing on Table Rock Lake.


Watch the forums for more details.......

This'll be my first year going for them strictly with a bow. Last year I kind of did half and half. I'll be using what's in my signature only I'll be dropping the poundage down to 50 instead of 60.

You may learn that you want to drop the draw weight of your bow down about 10 pounds or so. I don't know if you've ever gone turkey hunting with a bow but sometimes Toms don't cooperate and you'll need to be able to hold at full draw for upwards of a minute. Also, with a 70lb bow you're sure to blow right through a bird, the trick is to keep the arrow inside the gobbler for quick recovery, most people will use a bow set at or around 50 lbs and will use a blunt tipped broadhead. I'll be filing the tips down on my Muzzys just for this occasion.

The thought had crossed my mind but it depends if I draw a tag or not. In Maine, the spring turkey hunt is by a lottery permit and thus far I've been unsucessful obtaining a tag.

If not it's spring scouting and shed hunting. Maybe a little fly fishing as well.

Oh, yea I'll be out there. 1st and 3rd weekends. I can't wait. I will be trying to take one with the shotgun first though...but after that all bow.

I'll be looking real soon for them Turkey's and when April come's around they're gonna be in trouble .LOL
