I am going to Kansas next week for turkey hunting and was told I can't use my bow during the gun season. Does anybody know for sure? I called the FWP today and one lady said "NO!" and the other lady said "Yeh sure you can use any legal weapon" What gives? I built a new bow just for this trip, hope I can use it.

It is bow only for the first week of the season, then any legal weapon for the rest of the season. I just got back from there Sunday and have been going for the past 5 years. You are good to go...shoot straight

NICE! My new bow will not have to wait till the 20th now. How did you do? what part did you hunt?
Thanks Steve, Chuck

N Central--LOTS of birds, but none would come in front of the blind under 30 yards ...

Wind was so bad it broke 3 blinds :mad:

Thanks Steve O, we are going towards the sameplace, north central. So I guess you are saying face the back of the blind eh?

You can use Your bow during the entire season!!!! Nothing that locks Your bow in a drawn position.

Thanks bretto, I am getting pumped up, I just put the last coat of finish on my "TURKEY" Bow.
Should be a fun trip, Chuck

Your bow is good here. The bow only season just ended, but that just means it opened up to shotguns. You can definatly use the bow on turkey up here for the rest of the season. Course, you'll have 500 guys out there throwing shot around, so watch yourself.

Was out last saturday and called in one bunch of about 20. Then it got real windy. Buddy shot his first ever at about 7 yards. Ther are birds around and like everyone said you can use your bow during the season. Good luck!

I finally learned this year the key is to call a LOT!!! There are a lot of hens and no gobbler is coming to a hen that calls a few times every 20 minutes like we call here in MI. Pulling the hens in with the gobbler in tow worked OK, but I could not get them in FRONT of the blind

The walk in farms I've hunted have all been pretty good, but the birds are DEATHLY afraid of any kind of decoy. I have actually started putting them out in travel corridors that I do NOT want the turkeys to be in.

How about some pictures of this "turkey bow"...

OK Steve O, Curly Narra riser, curly makore veneer, bamboo core. What do ya think?

fatman · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2009, 09:35:00 AM »

now that's a Turkey Bow

Steve O · « **Reply #14 on:** April 11, 2009, 10:04:00 AM »

I think that is "PURRTY" :D

What is the lenght tip to tip on that little jewell? Who did the artwork?

I think Shedua or Ebony would make the perfect turkey bow...dark, dark, dark.

Hmmmmm, now I am really intrigued...

I went to your website. I take it that is an Ambush Recurve? I am going to have to make a trip to Ovid I see. 50" NTN is a little shorter than my Dark Archer. This Bob Lee shoots pretty good, but I am always looking...

I shoot split fingers and 29 1/2" draw, will the Ambush handle that?

Great looking bow Chuck!

Steve, your comment about placing decoys were you DON'T want the turkeys to go is interesting. I tried that one day last year hoping they would shy away from the decoy and filter my way. 3 big toms came to the edge of the field, looked at the decoy, and turned and left the way they came. Sometimes they can seem so stupid, but man, they sure got decoys figured out!

I've got a couple of new tricks up my sleeve for this year. I got the idea from a guy that builds and sells a "decoy sled". Just like it sounds, the decoy mounts on a pair of runners which is then attached with a cord running to a stake in the field and back to the blind. Pull the cord to "walk" a feeding decoy out to the stake and then pull the other end of the cord to walk it back toward the blind.

I'm adding a "turkey skin" made of real turkey feathers over the top of the feeding decoy. A combination of real feathers on a decoy that is walking and feeding HAS to work!

They can't be that smart, can they?
