Woodmaster and myself have decided that we will do the Indiana turkey hunting a little tougher way by hunting them with a crossbow.
He will be using my TenPoint QX4 and I'll be using my Excalibur Exomag.
We already had one blind up on a field, but we needed another. I went up this evening and put up a Doghouse pop up blind. The Doghouse is a decent blind for gun or crossbow. To draw a vertical bow in it is a tough proposition.
I parked at an old barn and I looked over to the field I was going to and a gobbler was out there picking and every once in awhile he would break into a half strut. I got my stuff ready and walked around the end of the barn and there stood two jakes 20 yards away. They skeedaddled towards the gobbler spooking him too.
That was good as I didn't have to spook him myself. Where he was picking and strutting was real close to where I was going to put the blind.I put it up basically in a finger of a woods that is at the start of an old fence row. I've got it facing a way that I can cover two fields so I'll probably have out two sets of decoys. One for each field.
Now to just sit back and wait until the opener..
