Downing a wily spring gobbler with bow and arrow may seem like an assignment on Mission: Impossible. Turkeys are notorious for detecting a hunter’s slightest movement, so how can a person draw a compound or raise a crossbow?
The answer is in the gear that’s used, along with specialized techniques that negate a longbeard’s impenetrable defenses. Samantha Lance is an enthusiastic young mom and hunter. Here, she shares her secrets in this post from the Western Whitetails website.
The winter season is winding down, and spring is just around the corner. With spring comes my second favorite hunting season, Spring Turkey. There’s nothing better than sitting in the blind and listening to the goose bump-invoking sound of thunder chickens talking the language of love. Turkey hunting with a bow presents a whole new set of challenges, and you must be prepared. A successful bowhunt is an achievement in itself, but with a turkey, the vigilance pays off with a story worth telling.
The Blind
A blind will be your best bet for bow hunting spring turkeys. It takes more movement to draw and shoot a bow than to shoot a shotgun.
