This is going to be the year with the bow, I hope!
I still have yet to connect with a turckey with my bow yet but this year I have decided to leave the shotgun at home the entire season.
My wife is already getting tired of hearing me practing my calls.
Here are a few pic's to get you going.

Where's the snow? You're flocks ought to be doing great with the easy access to food! I am looking forward to it too.
Now I am ready!!! Cool pics
I'm ready!!
Only a month and a half till the season here........
varmint, let me know if you need any company! I can't wait for March 31st!
Im heading to Nebraska the 30th of March, Iowa mid April and then home to hunt the Mn over the counter bow season in May. Good luck all.....
Looking forward to it myself ! I haven't found out what time period i got but sometime in April i'll be going after them with my bow. Missed a Jake last year, this is the year i think. Good luck !! John
No but going to try anyway. This will be my first season.
I am stoked. I am taking my mom on her first turkey hunt ever.
im jealous you guys dont have to wait as long as i do,May :( . last year was my first with a bow and i learned 100 times more about turkey hunting then i ever would have with a shotgun, even tho i didnt get to bring one home with me. my first time calling to birds i was able to bring em in to easy shotgun range 5 times but never got good clear comfortable shots, CAN NOT WAIT to try again.

I am not yet ready but I am sure excited to go ! Not even sure if I got a tag yet this year.
If not, there is always those turkey-carp.

"When the dogwoog flower is as big as squirrels ears, the turkeys are gobbl'n"
Been ready got all my calls built early this year,so now just take orders So I can spend more time huntin
my phone alarm wakes me every morning with a turkey gobble!!!!
Crossin off the days till March 15. :bigsmyl:
I'm ready!!! Unfortunately my equipement is not and I have to wait until the end of May to hunt so I guess I have time.
Am still debating on leaving the shotgun at home also. May be a home made turkey season this year? Home made bow, turkey calls, knife, arrows. Depends on how lazy I get and how much spare cash I think I have.
Can't wait. Hope to find some Morels at the same time. Now that would be a tasty diner! Turkey and Morels!!!
I hung the shotgun up last year and chased the big
Tom's with a stick and a string. No kill... but tremendous fun -- can't wait to do it again! BTW Archery Turkey season is still open in Arkansas, I came to full draw a week and a half ago on a real nice Tom with a 10" beard. I just couldn't get the shot I needed and had to let him walk...
I will have the LDB during the first part of turkey season. But I am really looking forward to our youth Turkey season this year. It will be my sons first season with a bow and he will have the LDB with him during the youth season. I have got a great new place to hunt this year. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!
Also, I just got a Montana Turkey decoy. It is pretty cool. It folds up and you can almost get it in your back pocket. It is a big ol' tom in full strut. It looks very good. I will be practicing with it at a statepark before season comes in to see how the birds react to it. Good Luck to all
Hogs first, March 21-24 , then the feathered ones, all fair chase, then the feathered ones, just beat off 4 of the human race, one swollen left eye.tongue lacerated, Range 1-2 yrds.
I purty much stay ready. I keep a diaphram in my pocket everywhere I go year round. I didnt use a bow when i was shootin a compound;;this year I was planning on shootin 3 with my smoke pole and then I would still have 2 left for my bow. 5 is the limit here..Of course I got to get *1 first.
Looking forward to trying it out for the first time!
