When you guys trad hunt these birds, do you use hunting blinds, natural blinds or just sit against a good tree with full camo?  I had a small hen come cluckin' by my blind last Spring and lost a Jake who came to my clucks in the Fall, but then did that mysterious vanishing act wild animals can do... I ask b/c I probably would have had a shot on him IF I was not behind a ground blind I set up for deer hunting.

My first attempt at turkey hunting with a recurve was forty years ago and I was using a 48 pound Bear super mag. I still haven't tagged a turkey, missed more than I can recall, hit a couple that I couldn't find, missed a jake this fall. Never used a blind and seldom use decoys. Maybe this year. It sure has been a lot of fun.  :pray:

I've hunted spring turkeys in the past, but never on a property that both had a good population of birds and was conducive to hunting them. But this year I have a chance to hunt a massive working cattle ranchthat has a lot of wooded draws and open pastures, as well as an enormous turkey population. To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

I know I can't wait.  Last year was the first spring I tried birds with a bow and had a blast, just never did get them to commit that last 100yds.  Every single time I had hens intercept and take'm away.  I love turkey hunting as much as deer..maybe more.  They are the wing(ed) spawns of satan, but I like'm!
