Tips for bowhunting turkey.
 

I'm going to try it with a recurve, but have never bow hunted them before. Any tips appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't bow hunted turkey yet either but I think I'm go to try this fall season. Using a decoy to keep the birds attention away from you as you draw seems to be almost a must for bowhunters.
Thats what I'm going to try anyway.

A blind of some kind is a must. Doesn't have to be one of those pricey pop ups but many hunters use them. I use 25' of camo burlap and wrap around trees or extra arrows I stick in the ground. Others just make one out of what they find in the woods.

Decoy is a must.
If on private land and you have scouted well, a blind will work but if you have to move then it gets to be a pain and possibly costs you a bird by the noise and movement setting it up.
Set up the decoy/s in a position that you are partly screened by brush or a tree and can draw when the turkey is hidden would be the best advice I can give.

Good Luck
