Not that those are the only mistakes a person could make. LOL

Call softly always at a level just below the birds interest level if you answer every call that bird will hang up and wait for you to come to him. Learn a few simple calls mix them up one might be the one to call that bird in, simple purrs and clucks will go a long ways.


I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t made all those mistakes and more. Shooting my compound and my recurve tomorrow afternoon. I’m sure the bows gonna present some new challenges, and a few learning opportunities

Best to have a blind of some kind as the draw is the hardest part of that kind of hunt.

Definetly going to set up a blind and build a brush blind or two where I know they typically travel and go from there

They taunt me right outside of my front door. We’re always covered up in birds here.

Holy smokes deerhunter51, you better be able to kill a couple, they already strutting in TN? I saw my flock today while she’d hunting 2 long beards. Like you all I can’t wait, I almost like it more than deer hunting these days. I have the luxury of going every morning (and I do) so it does get a little old but I know it goes fast!

They started strutting here about a week ago. Toms were just gobbling in the woods behind the house about 30 minutes ago before they went up to roost. We limit out every year either down behind the house or on the farm next door - turkey and venison always on the menu here.

That’s an awesome pic, Turkey hunters dream to have that at less than 20 yards and those gobblers popping off

Blinds make bowhunting so easy for turkeys it's dumb.. Don't let any cracks shine through and keep in the shadows. Can practically do jumping jacks with a gob at 5 yds...

Gotta be perfect not in a blind..

That said patients kills most turkeys if you truly wait them out not meaning 20 minute waits..

May 1. Last year was terrible. Weather was wet and cold. They hardly talked where I hunted. The year before we were overrun with toms

I cant wait either. Have about 4 weeks or so for my season to open. Was out shed hunting today and marked a couple roost trees on OnX Maps. Then saw a flock of 10 birds all long beards feeding across a field no hens in soght.

Your entitled to oxygen. Everything else is earned.

How bout them Nebraskans? I was out there 7-8 years ago in the Curtis area. Lots of birds. Killed a nice Tom and a jake. Both merriams. Our easterns are pretty but those merriams are really cool birds. Saw some Rios but never had any opportunities to connect.

At one time I use to get pretty excited about turkey season, I still enjoy bow hunting them but have had less interest in hunting these days. I did get a license the other day so will hunt them for a few days any way. Last year was the first year I didn't kill a turkey in 35 years or better.

^ LOL! Yah, that what happens here, they flock up till April, then get spread out over 5 to 7 miles from where they winter. I did see a gobbler by itself today feeding in a field.
