Bow Hunting for Turkey

(1/3) > >>

Redneck5:
Looking at trying to bow hunt for turkeys this spring in Mass.
Has anyone ever tried it? If so what broadhead would you recomend, Gobbler Guillotine, or SABERTOOTH TALON series turkey and small game broadhead? 

I have a Mathews Z-Max with a 28 1/2 draw set at 62 pounds, total arrow weight is around 500 grains including a 125 grain broadhead.

I have shotgun hunted these fine birds for many years in Iowa (with no luck), but it is to hard to get a gun in the Great state of Mass >:(
I can't believe I am leaving Alaska to go chase Turkeys

Thanks
Redneck

Do you live in AK, Redneck? Why is it so hard to get a shotgun in Mass?
I would reccomend harvesting a few birds with a gun first, but that's just me.
Hunting them with a bow must be 10X harder...

Redneck5:
To get a gun in to Mass you have to apply (no problem), have a sponsor (got one), the sponsor has to buy your ammo and go hunting with you plus you have to put a sticker on your gun barrel. I like to get out there by myself and get a turkey. I have called them in before.

I am stationed here in the Air Force, so far I have killed a Caribou and a 43 inch moose.

Wow, Mass has some crazy rules...
Take some time off in the Spring and come to NY!  :)

your setup should be fine
I have basically the same thing but use 100 GR. heads.
Am going to use 100 gr. wasp jackhammer expand. for turkey
as they have worked well on deer for me.I think those big heads
just allow for a bigger margin of error. I'd practice and stick with
your deer head or a deer size expand. those turkey heads are also
very expensive 8)
