;D ;D ;D Three round trips to KY turkey hunting in the last three days = 125 miles per round trip X 3 days = 375 miles divided by 20 miles per gallon = 18.75 gallons at $3.72 a gallon equals $51 for three days of hunting travel.Butter Balls are looking better all the time..... .

This story goes back to training. You don't shoot something you can't confirm is what you want to shoot. ...

a lot of guys will read this story and think, "That could never happen to me, only happens to rookies" think again--the average age of the shooter in accidents like this is 42 years of age with half having completed a hunter ed course. 66% of accidents happen on PRIVATE LAND! www.nwtf.org/images/Hunter_Safety_Task_Force.pdfwe all need to hunt defensively and safely!!

cool! I do think the blind lets you get closer to turkeys and sure makes it MUCH easier to hunt them with a bow--never got one with a bow myself ;D ;D going to try the crossbow this season!! I still hunt the old fashion way. I will be putting out a blind during the youth season for my son and I. He wants to take one with a bow. If he gets his with a bow I guess ill give it a try during the regular season with a bow. He gets hard to live with when he does somthing that the old man hasnt done yet.

the blind setup in the middle of a huge field with the dave smith decoys out front is flat out deadly on wild turkeys!!!
I don't miss leaning up against a tree with a huge root grinding into my back while my legs fall asleep!
that's just me though... lots of ways to bag a turkey!
;D ;D

there is a world of difference between the state FWA and the Atterbury JMTC ! ;D ;D the state side gets hammered with hunters (mushroom and turkey) and has mediocre habitat at best however the JMTCC is ideal habitat with limited pressure and therefore lots more birds!! whitetaildave24, yes all my birds over the years have been taken on the military side- I never even tried the public side of Atterbury! All birds were taken as a stand by hunter too! I have never had been drawn at Atterbury, but I have had success over the years showing up as a stand by hunter and getting drawn on the random lottery each morning at the DNR office. I gave up going to Atterbury a few years ago, due to the fact that they now only hunt during the regular Indiana season weeks of the turkey season. They used to start the hunts at Atterbury the week prior to the opening week of Indiana season (Monday thru Thursday) and it gave us Turkey Hunting junkies a little head start to the Indiana season each year, but that has changed and now I just have too many other places to go after them during the normal season in Indiana to head back to Atterbury. But I sure did have a great deal of fun and many memories of the military side of the facility.

I love the slick tricks that woody mentioned!! if you are set on mechanicals you might look at rages also, not a fan of them for deer but for turkeys they are ideal they fly like field points also (as do slick tricks!!!) Just my $0.02 Woody, I know I had asked about which broad head would be good for my set up (Banett DOA) I have been reading and talking to the locals as well. So now I am totally confused. To make matters worse I have a turkey hunt in a few weeks. I hear that a mechanical is better for truer flight (like field tips) so I was looking at the Grim Reaper Razor Head ?. Is that good for tukey as well as deer ?
