Default Anyone bow hunting for turkeys this year?

Just kind of wondering if anyone is going to bow hunt for turkeys this season. Im decided i would give it a try, i have never shot a turkey before. I bought a double bull blind from what i hear they are awesome.

What are you planning on using from broadheads. I am putting on a 100 gr. thunderhead with a rounded off tip and a gobblerstopper adder point right behind it.

I will be once I fill my first tag. I never tagged one in the spring with a bow, so I hope this year is my first. I have 3 tags this year between Vermont and PA so I hope to have a fair chance at arrowing one.

We have three weeks of season here and for the first week, its bow only for me. Arrowing a gobbler is very challenging, but once you connect with one, you'll be hooked!!! I shoot 125gr NAP Gobbler Getters.

I will be out with the stick and string again this year exclusively. I've purchased a Double Bull and I've been doing my homework, doing my scouting. Ready to get in the game.

I've decided to keep what little sanity I have left and stick with gun this year.

Not saying it's insane to hunt them with a bow, just think it might drive me insane.

this will be my first season with useing my bow for turks. my set up will be the new matrix blind by doublebull in green predator, i also have the b5prostaff blind that i bought 3 years ago. for a bow mathews sq2 with the gobbler guillotine [ not sure how those will work out] and buckwings new bobbinhead hen decoys along with there jake decoy. one thing i found out you need to put your turkey decoy close to your blind about 10yards. good luck bow hunting.
