Longbow 60#, Double Bull Recurve blind, a wingbone call, two blade broadhead and no decoy.  Also a good book to help pass the time.  I have had good luck with this combination.

slate and striker  

Thinking real hard about using one of these this year.
 

one of these for sure
 
If I use a regular broadhead then I'll be shootin string!
Using a recurve with bowquiver and 63-66# draw.  
 

My favorite broadhead and arrow... Magnus I w/bleeder on a Vapor 4000 Carbonwood.

Remind me not to go hunting with Biggie I have feathers on my arrows....PULLLLL.

 I plan on taking one of my two Colts Plainsmans they're 60"amo. I am pretty decided on the 45# one with 30" cedar 4" fletching and 125grn swickey black diamond deltas.
   
Last week while bowfishing I saw what must have been 14 Turkeys jumping across the canal. I might try that spot. Hey python season starts tommorrow down here.

Well for the first week and a half, I'll be hunting with Miss Faith.  Still working on the arrows, but it's looking like 29.25" MFX 400s, 160 grain Snuffers and 100 gr adapters.  I have to send her off by April 1st, hopefully with a little more blood on her!

After that, I'll have my Silvertip with me, 65#@28 with Hammerheads and Snuffers.

I can't make up my mind.
Probably the old reliable Red Wing Hunter 58" 49@28 and some cane arrows I just finished with trade points 260gr up front, total arrow weight around 650gr.
Been There, Done That, Still Plowin.
Cane and Magnolia tend to make good arrow.

Just finished my this years bow up,60" d/r 53#@28" ,will shoot a 594grn CX Heritage with a snuffer,or possibly a bullhead on the front.

Torn whether to buy a blind or not.For me,it sorta takes away from it,but I don't kill many turkeys either!!
