Back when I shot the other flavor of bows I called jakes into spitting distance two mornings in a row and on the same trip I called in some more mature birds to a chip shot range and dorked the shots away all three times, so much for those bows being easier to shoot. Almost pulled off getting a shot with a stick bow and no blind once since then but that was the only time I tried, got busted big time that instance but I know it can be done with the right cover and situation!

All of my birds have come without a blind. I will hunt out of them, but it's not my preference. I like a ghillie and a cedar tree. Turkey are not easy to bring down. I've never missed a deer...but I've missed A LOT of turkey!!

It's the only way I have bowhunted them since I started chasing them around. All natural blinds, mouth calls, full headnet and hope they pass behind a tree so I can draw the bow undetected.

I was very fortunate to get a crack at a turkey this past weekend. It was quite windy but the turkeys were gobbling steady which is unheard of where I hunt. After the shot the turkey had trouble running so he took to the air and landed on the other end of the field 300 yds distant and went into the marsh. Five minutes later his buddy went in the marsh after him. I found them both a hour later with the buddy on top doing unspeakable acts to his dead buddy.

this photo just blew my mind, reminds me of 1976 when my father took me hunting, my father had guess what,,,, A bear grizzly and I was wearing a hunting outfit made by mom out of old Vietnam era surplus because they didn't make stuff for kids back then.

Awesome photo!

I've never hunted from a pop up blind, but I do have some brush blinds here and there in good spots.

I usually start my day in one or the other, but if I have a bird gobbling at me that won't come in, I go after him, and use what natural cover I can find to call from.

It's become my favorite way to hunt them, and I've killed some birds doing it over the years, but there have been lots of times that I've either been busted, or couldn't draw my bow when I had a shot, because I would have been.

However things turns out, It's a heck of a lot of fun, and rewarding when it all comes together.
