Bow with a turkey

RE: Bow with a turkey
30 lb bow will do it - I don't think there is a minimum.
But a pellet gun/rifle with a well placed shot will also do it BUT is illegal in the majority of states. There are a few western states where a rifle can be used so I bet those new fangled pellet rifles might be okay. But please check you Dept of Nat. Res. regualtions before you do.'

Bow with a turkey? I've never tried that, I guess if you threw the turkey at the bow hard enough...haha just kidding, I would imagine 30 lbs would kill a turkey, but I would try for more then that just for good measure. If you are shooting low poundage I would stick to a cut on contact broadhead as well. I don't think I would be real ethical to try to take a turkey with a pellet gun. A turkey shotgun shell throws several hundred pellets at around 1300 fps (give or take) and it takes several of those pellets in the head or neck to put one down. Turkey are big tough birds and they take a lot of killing for an animal their size.

You will definitely need some type of blind - turkey are so wary that the littlest movement out of the ordinary and they will be gone.

I too use a blind to help give me a little advantage, but it can be done without.
