I think turkeys have eyes in the back of their heads..LOL...One of these days I'll get one. 'course he might have to be blind.

The better question, for me anyway, would be "have you killed a trad turkey without a blind?" I don't do blinds and have been trying to kill one for several years. Got close last year with a chair and my ghillie and mmmmmissed - twice!

I have about eight or so ... I'm lucky to have a good friend with turks on his property that I can hunt, lots of fun and a good reason for friends to get together after a long winter break.

All of mine have come via spot and stalk; I'm a lousy turkey caller, evidently.

This year will be my first year hunting trad and I'll start with turkey. I'm optimistically realistic about my potential success

I got my first taste of turkey hunting last year and was seriously impressed with the difficulty factor. i swear those birds can read a newspaper at a 100 yards. :eek:

I was hunting in a ghillie suite with very little cover. I had a lot of close encounters, but never dropped the string on one. I will be spending a bit more time on set up, & building some brush blinds this year...... Great sport! these are very challenging to hunt.

Yes, last fall. My first and only.

Never killed one before the spring of 2000, since then 30 I believe...luv everything about it!

Scout everyday for at least a month before the season starts, can't wait!!!

I've killed 10. Took a while till I got #1 but haven't missed getting one in five season til this Fall. Best of all, 3 of them were stalked.

Did you forget you already posted that Bill? My memory sucks too

always enjoy your threads.

Curt is the turkey Guru!!!! He shares some great advice to be learned if you really want to kill a bird with your tradbow. Go back and read some of his previous threads over the years and study them. Good stuff

One back in Kansas in 2005 out of my pop-up blind with my Bob Lee Classic Takedown recurve, CE Heritage 250 arrow tipped with the old Bear razorhead. Haven't hunted them since.

Congrats man! Pics? Story?

I've only killed a few but I blame that mostly on the fact that I don't have access to any areas where the live close by. I drive 4 or 5 hours to be able to hunt them. I must say I'm getting better. I think one thing that has maybe helped me is that I have never gun hunted them. I've gotten birds in gun range every season but getting them in close enough for my limited range recurve bow always proved difficult. By far the biggest thing that has helped is always trying to improve my calling, and a good set of decoys!

Yes and I love hunting turkeys with my longbow!
