hutchies Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Vane colors and Turkey\' Some people say not to use white wrap but I had 40+ turkeys come thru when I headshot that hen and none of them noticed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Re: Vane colors and Turkey\' It may just be me but I use darker vanes and even use a black magic marker on my broadheads. Last year was my first time useing my bow for tommy and I have no blind. I was sitting on an edge of a field waiting for a tom to come around me to my decoys. Well he came 3yds to my left side spitting and drumming. When all of a sudden he took off, I hadn't moved a muscle including my eye balls. I got to looking at my setup and noticed my broadheads shined and my vanes were contrast with the cover I was in. Since then I darkened my stuff and haven't had a problem with close turkeys, I mean yds or less close. I also added a ghillie head cover and that helped also, at lest that's what I have noticed personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Turkeystalker Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: Vane colors and Turkey\' I take a turkeys wing feather and clip out 1/2 inch sections and then lightly spary paint my vanes with black paint. I mean lightly, it isn't solid color. My vanes are 1 flouresent green and two orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
