Turkey Season in NE & Martha Stewart Bow---Pic for Skeptics Added

[tippit]

Well after reading all these Turkey posts, May is finally upon us with Turkey Season in New  England     I have been practicing with my calls, ghillie suit, and Martha Stewart Bow!  

For those of you that missed the PBS Banquet and more specifically Joey Buchanan's Turkey Seminar, It was quite a show.  Extremely entertaining but also some of the best ideas for traditional bowhunting I've ever seen.  The Martha Stewart Bow has an artificial wreath on the bow to hide hand and head movement.  So Martha & I will be chasing some birds in May    

Pronghorn longbow (soon to be painted) 56" 51#@28.  I went for the green ivy but you could add flowers!  You just shoot right thru the middle of the wreath...Doc

You could use Mistletoe and it would be called the kiss of death lol.

Or you can wear the wreath on your head to complete the Ghillie suit. LOL

[Brent Rudolph]

That is either the funniest thing I have seen in a long time, or the best idea. Actually hard to say at the moment. All I can say is I want pictures of the complete outfit. We will also expect a performance report.

[Brent Rudolph]

BTW- Does Mr. Meland know what you are doing to this bow?

[tippit]

Brent, That's why I got to paint it so Herb doesn't see this  :eek:  Just remember, Newton got the same laughs from the apples hitting him on the head!

OK joebuck, You better hop in here as I need some help with these skeptics...Doc

You forgot the front door, but I admire the tree trunk ghillie suit you have.

TonyW,
Actually, I'm not sure that the use of a peep sight is all that traditional.

Brent, This could be some very good camo for one of your Sheepeaters.  I'd be willing to do some testing and research for ya' @ No Charge    Doc

[vermonster13]

I'll let you try it on mine next month Doc. lol

[SKYLER W]

That's cool Jeff...

[Boar Hog]

neat

[Whip]

How did you attach it to the bow Jeff?
I'll be waiting for the field test!

[IB]

SaWEEETTT Doc. I like the concept      

[wislnwings]

As funny as that is I bet it will work like a charm.  Back when I shot a compound I rigged up something like that using two sections of arrow and some leafy netting.  It looked goofy but it sure made sense.

[tippit]

Whip,  How else would I attach it...Vet Wrap!  It's a stick to itself tape that leaves no residue on the bow.  It comes in colors...lime green is the closest I could get to Martha's wreath  :D  

Actually it's not Martha's wreath.  I just went to a craft store and bought a chain of silk leaves and 12" wire wreath frame for under $8.  Just wired it onto the frame.  

Think how happy your wife will be when she shows off her new table center piece at your next dinner party...of course it will be roasted Wild Turkey      Doc

Next you'll be on Martha's TV show.  :D

Tippet, a little brown paint here, black paint there, beige speckle here.....It's there!.....I know your tempted to add a small brown wren in a nest but.......

[bowhunterfrompast]

 ..you guys are cracking me up. Will be waitng for the results.

[tippit]

Joey, You're holding out on me...where the heck do you get the little brown wren.  I got a bunch of parakeets at the clinic but I think they are too bright...Doc
