[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 204102, member: 2736"] Len I have hunted turkeys with shotgun,rifle and bow and without a doubt the hardest way to kill a turkey is with the bow. During bow season I use the bow and a ground blind with camo mesh over the windows, and shoot through the mesh. Before this type of blind we used a tripod and it was very difficult because when you drew the bow the turkey saw you and took to the air and some times you had to shoot on the wing. During deer season we use the rifle but head shots are the exceptable and sporting way to take them considering 200yrd + shots are normal . ( Body shots ruin to much meat) and your buddies will give you a very hard time. To me the easiest way is with a shot gun. I must admit I use a 3 1/2" 12 gauge with 2 1/4 ounce #2's so range is out to 60 or 65yrds. Note" With the bow I place a small aluminum washer behind the broad head to increase the impact on the turkey and it puts them down fast. Just my way of hunting turkeys J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
