Title: Anyone one else ready for Turkey season?
Post by: mgompf on January 31, 2007, 09:02:00 AM
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.

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'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

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.
