How many BOW turkey hunters we gonna see this year?
One thing I haven't done is take a turkey with a bow. This year I hope will change things. I've won a hunt in Kansas this year and for the first time they are opening their season early for bow only. Ah, that's where I come in. I'm headed to Kansas the first 3 days of April and hunting out of Double Bulls with River Valley Game Calls' cameras rolling looking for footage for RVGC's volume IV of Head Hunters.
I then head to NC with GMMAT for more video opportunities then back to PA. I'm hopin to make Jeff famous. lol Now once back in PA I don't know if the bow or the turkey killin Mossberg is going with me. PA birds don't fall to bows easily and I feel are the wariest birds in the country also spook on blinds, that's been my experience tho. The proverbial saying in the industry is that if you can kill a bird in PA you can kill a bird anywhere in the country.
With PA's extra tag I'll have the opportunity for 6 birds. If I tag out, any NY's want to host an avid turkey hunter/caller.

I am planning on taking my 2nd turkey with a bow. I am pretty optomistic. I took one this past fall and this will be my first spring hunt with a bow. I can't wait.

Rob, best of luck in Kansas.I am going to bow and shot gun hunt turkeys. If I take my son or sons..its gonna be the shotgun, alone, with my bow this spring. The same goeswith bears this spring.

Thanks shed33, sounds awesome, perhaps one of these years I'll make Idaho for Merriams. I'm hoping for a Rio in Kansas but understand the hybrids are the abundant ones.

WEll I don't know. Last year I got bold and tried with the bow. Had 2 instances at HUGE birds that would have been dead with a shotgun. Put the bow away and never did get another gobbler in range.

And I'm not talking fall birds from the treestand, that's just not the same as a wiley gobbler on the ground.
