Anyone killed a turkey with a bow

[Lee Creek22]

Was just wandering has anyone killed a turkey with their bow or crossbow and if so how difficult was it.

 

[LA man]

i havent tried YET

I have in the fall, but not in the spring. I have to much fun with the shotgun!

Wasn't too difficult. I was hunting the edge of a thicket. I heard the turkey walking. Drew back. When it steped out, I busted it.

I have as well. Drawing back is the toughest part, after that its just the shot. Pretty rewarding. Looking forward to doing it again this spring.

Hunt from a blind and it's a piece of cake!

 

[ShaneHallum]

Yep, thats the only way I've ever killed one.. Gonna try with a shotgun this year.

 

[WingNut]

Going to try this year.

 

[CopperHead77]

I've tried!

Twice as rewarding to kill with a bow. All mine were killed from a blind. Put your decoys about 15 yards in front of you and you should have a chip shot.

Thanks everybody...I think I will try it this season. Sounds like a blind is the way to go.

Depends on your terrain. The farm I hunt is all peaks and valleys so it is actually easier to bow hunt those birds without a blind.

Thanks.

Same here. If I ever try it in the spring I'll have a shoot thru blind, but as for now Im gonna use my 835

very hard...i killed one last fall with a bow....it took me years to do it but i shot her at 37 yards and killed her.......but its more challening.....

Killed a few, but only from a ground blind.

Never in the open.

Both cross and compound.

Very fortunate.

First one was a fluke, second one wasnt.

I have missed a bunch
