It's that time of year again! The long winter is over and spring is approaching fast! That means that food plots are being constructed, deer are getting into their summer patterns and..... TURKEY SEASON.
Turkey season offers some new challenges to bow hunting that many hunters never have to acknowledge, the biggest of which: the use of full camouflage. With deer, bear and small game hunting the required camouflage is minimal. Turkeys on the other hand have a keen vision and will bust you in a heartbeat if you are not concealed properly. This factor often makes them an appealing target for the bow hunter seeking the next step in developing their skills.
So how do you outwit the infamous thunder chicken? Do you spot-n-stalk? Are you a head hunter? Do you call them out of the roost? As long as the bird ends up in the bag that's all that counts right? Good luck this season and remember...
