Hunt Spring Turkey with Bow and Arrow

Try to match wits with a longbeard during spring turkey hunting season while using archery equipment is a very challenging feat. To start with you must hunt from a blind of some sort. I prefer a double bull blind now owned by the primo gang. The ground blind I like the best is a matrix 360 for spring turkey hunting. This blind offers unobscured shooting in all directions by using a shoot through mesh netting that hangs from the top fabric. When archery turkey hunting and using the mesh fixed blade broadheads are mandatory and range is limited because you will loose some kinetic energy when the broadhead passes through the netting. Some archers modify the netting by adding perminant shooting holes By cutting the netting and hemming to opening to keep the mesh from freying. The holes you cut also allow the use of mechanical broadheads. “Do not shoot mechanical broadheads through the mesh”. It will deploy your broadheads an distort the arrow flight. I also will set the blind so the sun never shines into the blind creating shadows that will give your moment away.

When getting dressed for your hunt you want to wear a color that matches the inside color of the ground blind you are going to hunting from. You will be suprised how much movement you can get by with if you dress to match the color of your blind. I use a camouflaged scent lock pullover because I can kill two birds with one stone. I can wear the camouflage “out” while going to and from my blind then turn it “inside out” when I am in the blind. I also use my Scentlock facemask, it is black on the inside because of the carbon layer. For me, wearing black is the best color to match the inside canvas of the blind for turkey hunting situations.
