Looks like my spot for deer hunting is going to also provide me some turkey hunting opportunity. So where do I need to hit on a turkey with archery equip when hunting from a stand and does it change if hunting on the ground (blind).
Thanks guys!

Somebody probably has detailed pictures, but if the turkey is broadside to you, you need to hit 'em in line with the legs, about halfway up the body. Not sure on other presentations though.

I've hunted turkeys a lot with a bow. Mostly from a blind. Even if your in a stand you have to watch your movement. You need to check the Indiana hunt guide. I think they have a detailed picture. But you can hit a turkey almost anywhere with a bow an he, OR SHE in the fall, will go down. I've never had a turkey go more than ten yards with a bow hit. I usually just aim for the middle of the body. Or the Texas heart shot if there facing away. If the bird is strutting, which is not very unlikely in the fall, try to wait till they come out of strut. A high shot on a bird is never bad. I've taken them as far as 65 yards with a bow. You don't need to worry about changing you poundage or broadhead. Use the same as you are for deer. Hope this helps ya a little. Birds are highly predictable in the fall. I got my eye on a few flocks myself. Bow hunting turkeys is a blast. Good luck.

65 yards, that is more then a bit out of my range! I have been finding feathers on a regular basis on my property and yesterday when I took the kids on a walk we flushed them off the roost about 20 yards away from where Ikeep finding the feathers. There is a tremendous place for my ground blind there so I think I will set up the blind.
Thanks guys.
