Turkey Hunter: what colors on your arrows...
« on: May 19, 2008, 09:33:00 PM »
What color combos are you all using on your arrows when hunting turkey?
I was using white wraps with red feathers, but seemed to get busted when I'd move my bow with a sidemounted quiver.  Obviously, turkey see in color, and red is color they use to "communicate".  It made sense that they would notice my arrows.
I switched to black feathers, but really don't like them.  I'd like to try something else, but am not sure what combo.  Thought about going barred to help break up the colors.  Thoughts...  :help:

I use chartreuse and have no problems.  It kinda looks like new leaves coming out when they are that light greenish color.

I use white but I slip a camo cloth over the ones in the quiver.

4 fletch with 2 yellow and 2 yellow barred...arrows in side quiver on ground beside me.  Unless hunting from pop-up blind, I wouldn't leave a bow quiver on the bow for turkey hunting...or any ground hunting...just more stuff moving.  I would stay away from red / white anything while turkey hunting from a safety stand point.

Be careful using red and blue fletching. Had a friend get shot by a shotgun hunter  who thought the feathers were a turkey. Friend lived but was incapacitated for awhile.

Red, white and blue.  One feather each.  BUT, I don't have any arrows in a quiver on the bow.  I carry a side quiver and put it on the ground or hang it in a tree when I'm hunting.
