Bow hunting turkeys without a blind
I just wanted to know if anyone here has bow hunted turkeys without a pop up blind, and have you been successful. Also i wanted to know how you set up to keep hidden.

I do, just because I like to do it with a longbow. Impossible with a blind. I can't say I have been successful. But close. I just pick a very large tree and stand mostly.
My setups are usually on field edges with decoys in the field with heavy wooded edges or even banks on the edges.

I killed my first turkey ever this year, with my bow, no blind. I just camoed up,,..applied face paint, and used the natural terrain as my cover. I was able to draw when he wasnt looking.
My wife is attempting to do the same, she'll get it done too.

I never hunt with a blind, mainly because I've never set out to get one... anyways the most important thing to remember when finding a tree or brush pile or whatever, Make sure that the object is wider than your shoulders. Really helps to break up your outline.
