Who Hunts Turkeys W/ Their Martins?

Pretty much put the shotgun down two years ago and I couldn't be happier. Up close and personal. Find I'm more patient when I get set up in the blind. Spring is coming!

This guy was rubbing against the blind in full strut, had to wait till he moved away to shoot him at 5 yards.

Shot this one at 12 yds, came in from behind me; first heard him gobble a long way off.

Looks like a lot of fun. I will have to get set up with the kids to do some turkey shooting. We just mainly hunt deer right now.

Will you be able to shoot that 64 " recurve from your penthouse blind? Seems like you'd have to be sitting. :D

Nice, the brand or type of bow doesn't really matter. You using a blind?

CaptJJ you have listed an Altitude 04 as one of your bows. I had a 02 and loved it. How do you like yours?

Great little bow, I really like it, one of the first "micro" bows; pretty accurate, managed three robin hoods with it. Also took several deer, a couple coyotes, a bear and a turkey with it. I don't shoot it much anymore, it does have some hand shock/vibrattion that I don't feel with the newer bows.
