Thanks! In all fairness, I did shoot a fall hen with the bow once, but tried for years to get a spring gobbler with the shotgun and could never make it happen. Pretty proud moment for me to finally make it happen...even though I did get a little bit lucky!Congrats on a great first bird!
Is it legal to hunt elevated for turkey?This weekend will be my first real attempt at bird hunting....I'll have my saddle, soft platform, climbing stirrups, mouth calls, and bow with 145gr steel force single bevel.

Alabama passed this year you can bow hunt from a tree. I like the hiking around aspect of turkey hunting so I don’t plan to make that endeavor this year. That said, it’s suppose to rain tonight so I’m thinking about hiking in and setting up on the green field I saw a gobbler on last weekend. Thinking of setting up with a pop up ground blind and deer hunting them at least until the rain quits? My thought is if the rain quits and nothing hits the field I can get up hike after some.
Thoughts?
Any tips for this style? Any calling or dead silent? Set up how close to the field? Leave multiple windows open or just the one viewing the field. Trying to figure out how to approach this.Good plan
See you in a tree, Ricky
Nothing wrong with a little luck. CongratsThanks! In all fairness, I did shoot a fall hen with the bow once, but tried for years to get a spring gobbler with the shotgun and could never make it happen. Pretty proud moment for me to finally make it happen...even though I did get a little bit lucky!
Exactly what I’m doin this morning. Light rain for another hour, found 2 lone pines on a knob near a small green field. No gobbles yet but I suspect they haven’t hit the ground yet....Alabama passed this year you can bow hunt from a tree.

Just soft yelp sequence every 15-20 mins depending on what the rest of the birds are doingAny tips for this style? Any calling or dead silent? Set up how close to the field? Leave multiple windows open or just the one viewing the field. Trying to figure out how to approach this.

Congratulations on a beautiful bird . Now that your hooked try it with a bow. You can use your ground blind it is a blast.My first turkey ever, very exciting hunt and couldn't be happier with the results. Turkey hunter for life now. This bird had a 9 1/2 inch beard with just over 1 inch spurs. Called in and shot him at 31 yards with a 12 gauge from a ground blind. These birds are very majestic and beautiful, to see them strut and gobble in the wild is breathtaking and a hunt i will NEVER forget!
