The Hunting Beast

Whats your turkey slaying weapon of choice?

I voted gun, but I would like to shoot one with a bow, this will be my third year Turkey hunting, and I've yet to shoot a turkey so, the gun will be my weapon of choice, I missed a nice Tom with my bow opening morning of my first season, and last season I had a missed chance at a nice Tom because my gun misfired, So maybe I can nail one this season....

I do both but I voted bow since I prefer the bow. Here is a nice WI tom I shot with my bow. He strutted by at 4 yards. 24.5 lbs., 10.5" beard, spurs were 1 1/8" and 7/8".

I have not been real serious about turkey hunting yet. Maybe this year.

Bow only for the last few years, I finally killed my first archery turkey with it this fall.

I voted gun, but the way I hunt; sneak, stalk, and set and reset a lot, I take a lot of long shots.

But after last year stalking with crossbow during our fall deer archery (due to reg change full inclusion in southern MI) I am addicted to this weapon. So I am going to try Spring turkey with the crossbow this year. I got into and out of turkeys a couple of times last fall, just for fun. It was satisfying just to get into position and then back out with out getting busted from a fall flock a couple of times.

I may not fully retire my turkey gun. Single shot 3 1/2" 12 gauge, it is light mobile and can really reach out.

I voted with a gun, I hope after I knock a few down I would go with a bow

I love bowhunting more than anything but the way I run n gun on public land I need my gun for turkeys! If I had private land to hunt turkeys maybe I'd sit in a blind and wait em out longer? I give credit to anyone who's hunted them with a bow because they are hard enough to kill with the gun in spring!!

Heres my weapon of choice but will use gun if I have to. Cant wait for spring to arrive.

Mike Foss---where do buy your lost camo????

I will be hunting with my bow this spring...Mathews Z7

Robert, go to www.gamehide.com they have some great camo to buy including Mathews Lost Camo.

Gotta go with the bow it's always good to add a good challenge to it only have gone out with the bow once and shot a Jake will be looking for his father this year!

I bring both, But I hunted last year strictly with my Bow. I would prefer the Bow over the shotgun. Either way it is trip

I voted gun. This spring will be my first crack at turkey hunting.
