I have hunted turkey's for 15 years. In that 15, I have used a blind once, didn't like it. Not clausterphobic, just like being able to see all around. I have harvested 12 in the spring and 8 in the fall. With 9 of these bow harvest. My experiance is alot like what DocDevin said. I hunt public land, so I get out early, and try and get a shock gobble. then I slip in, and mimic a flydown and tree yelp. Using good natural cover is good, but sitting low to the ground with just enough brush and in the shadow's help. I found, like Doc that the thick foliage, helps, and make's that Tom look hard for the hen. Decoy's have to be used right, try and set them up in shade, to where the turkey walks past you. Once you get him coming in, get your bow up and ready for the shot. If using Decoy's I found that having them facing you causes the tom to come face to face with it and give you a great "bullseye" shot when in strut. Another tip, when set up have a spare arrow ready next to you, (saved me twice). This way if you miss, slowly get next arrow on string and wait with some soft calling or leaf scratching, the tom has a good chance of coming back in. Practice with a mouth call, or rig a tube up to your wingbone for hands free calling. I have found in timber, that scratching the leaves like a turkey eating works great at bringing in the bird. We don't have to worry about the sense of smell, but keep this in mind, we are trying to fool one of the keenest eyesight in the woods. Use thick cover on edge of field, or just down a slope to make him look for her. the other tactic that works great, is to circel around the bird, causig him to get really worked up. We are going against nature, for the hen is suppose to come to him, so the thick cover and circling makes him work harder. Hope this helps.
