Archery - Bowhunting Turkeys

For many of us, opening day of Spring turkey season finds our birds still "bunched up" and just starting to break out of their Winter flocks. There are a couple of good things about this: 1 - if you can find one of these big flocks, you are going to be treated to quite a show! It's not uncommon to see multiple mature Toms strutting, gobbling, and even fighting as they start to establish dominance around dozens of hens. And, 2 - multiple gobblers means multiple opportunities.

 Obviously, the bad thing about hunting big flocks of turkeys is, well... you're hunting a big flock of turkeys! It doesn't matter how good your call sounds, chances are you are not going to call a Gobbler away from 40 or 50 hens. I like to hunt these early season birds with the same mentality that I use for deer season. Scout, scout, and scout some more. Once I've found a flock of birds, I try to be there at fly-down time every single morning for at least 2 weeks before season opens. If you have the opportunity to watch some turkeys day-in and day-out like this, I think you'll find that often, they are fairly easy to pattern. Even though they may roost in different spots and rarely travel the exact same path 2 days in a row, they normally will end up in the same general area every morning. So like the saying goes, "don't hunt 'em where they are, hunt 'em where they're going to be". For this type of hunt, I almost always use a portable blind.

In my opinion there is no better way to kill a turkey with archery gear than using a pop-up blind. Once I've patterned my birds, I like to set a blind up a day or two before season. I really only do This Out of convenience, there is no need let the birds "get used to the blind" or "brush it in". More often than not, I'll set my turkey blind in the middle of an open field, with no cover around what so ever. It's funny how a turkey will walk right past a blind that was not there the day before, without ever even giving it a second look - very different from deer! Once you've got your blind set, it's really just a waiting game. Again, think of it more like deer hunting - sit back, call a little, and let the birds come to you. If your patient and you have done your homework, I think you'll find this to be a fun and successful way of hunting early season gobblers!

i need help buying a bow?

so i decided i want to start bowhunting and i dont know much when it comes to buying, brands and what to look for. I want something decent quaility and hopefully not too expensive... there arn't really any archery stores here so i will probably order it online, maybe cabelas or something but if you know a better place let me know. Its probably going to be something i'll use for deer and boars. and probably only used once or twice a year for hunts, and other than that at the range and stuff. I'm a pretty big guy so draw pll isnt too much of an issue, I dont want to spend an arm and a leg, can i get suggestions for bows and other thinsg i'll need?

The best buy on the market is the Mission X-three-it is made by the Matthews bow company , and testers rated it the best buy out of ten other budget bows on the market. They said it was as smooth, quiet, fast,vibration free, as the top of the line Matthews bows. It also sold at one half the price of the top of the line Matthews bow. You need to look at this one
You will also need sights, bow quiver, a dozen arrows, a release and broadheads to go on your arrows you need to have someone that is experienced in archery to give you some help on your journey into archery. For instance, only when your bow is selected, will you know what size arrows and what length arrows to buy- and you bow cannot be bought until you know what lb pull you want, and what your draw length is. And when your arrows are ordered, they will come full length, and must be ,if carbon, cut off to the correct length with a high speed saw, and inserts installed to accept the points.. You see there are a lot of variables here that will require someone to assist you making them -help can be found at any archery shop, any archery club member, any tournament range- any one connected to archery will be more then willing to help you. Every archer I know is a quality individual- welcome to the world of archery.
