Who else bow hunts them without a blind?

Been doing it for years. Don't need to hide behind a tree like in this video. Lol

What's your strategy on being concealed with no foliage? Equipment, camo, and technique?
I"m assuming you Ghilli up and just wait for the right to draw?

I just sit by a tree. Regular camo, no ghillie suit. Place a decoy out about 10-12 yds. Once he locks in on decoy you can get away with a lot of movement. I use a kick stand to have bow at the ready. It really isn't that hard. It just takes patience.

Here's a video of one I killed last year. This turkey stayed behind me for an hour at 60-70yds. Got aggressive with the call. Another bird began to gobble and this one broke. I was able to draw when he strutted away from me but it usually doesn't happen like that. I let them get up to the decoy then draw.
