Rhino Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Re: Bow or Gun? For the last few years I've been trying to make myself pull out the bow after the 1st gobbler. I haven't done it yet. Last year I didn't hardly carry any weapons after the first week. I was helping some other guys and youngsters do a double team on the birds with them doing the shooting. I already have an 8 year old boy lined up to take this year, so I doubt I'll take my bow turkey hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Re: Bow or Gun? If I manage to get a bird using the shotgun I will go for a second one using either a crossbow or my compound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covehnter Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Re: Bow or Gun? The last two years i have tried to take a bird with a bow and i also pulled the muzzleloader once, so far i am 0 for 3. I messed up twice w/ a bow and flat out missed a monster w/ the muzzleloader. Seems like i cant get them to fall to anything other than the Remington. If all goes well and i take a bird or two early in the season i'll probably try it again.

need2hunt Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Re: Bow or Gun? The plan is to take the first bird with my bow (first time trying), take the second with a 28 gauge shotgun (call him in close) and if the plan fails and time is running out - get out the Remington 12 gauge (which will be locked in the trunk with my hunting buddy having the key so I don't break down after having bird after bird stop just outside of bow/28 gauge range:D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Re: Bow or Gun? I've got my gun ready, but now that I shoot a crossbow, I might try that too. Here in Mi. we can only get 1 bird a year. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
