A little late but better than never! This year I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for quite a few years I killed a turkey with my bow with out a blind. Last year I tried to do more spot and stalk and i never connected. This year due to covid I found myself off for 2 weeks right as season opened here in Michigan. Opening day I knew where some birds have been hangin out at and actually had a blind set up and ready to go, got out there early to set up and my blind was gone mad that someone stole it I found a group of trees and set up so the birds would be mostly behind the trees when they came in then I waited....and waited and found out I was not dressed for the low morning temps we had that day. At 10:45 I heard a gobble then another they were getting closer I sat still then a bird appears from behind the tree full strut around my strutting decoy. He kicked at it a few times but was looking right at me when he turned to run off a smaller bird I drew settled my pin just below his head and let it fly! He dropped right there I had my first turkey with a bow and no blind even on Michigan’s opening day

That’s awesome! Congrats!! I’ve never killed a turkey with my bow but I’ve attempted to get to full draw on them enough times during deer season to know that without a blind is no easy task!

Thanks man it was a rush never been much of a turkey hunter but that got me pretty jacked up felt like a little kid again after the shot! Totally forgot about birds kickin after and thought for sure with no head he was done went to take the picture that joker started flopping all over and sent the arrow flying right back at me!! Pulled some moves out of the matrix movies to miss the broad head
