    Here here, IMO turkeys are one of the most challenging critters to take with a bow

    I'll be taking both the bow and the shotty depending on the property I choose to hunt. I love runnin' and gunnin' after gobblers in the spring.

    I will most definitely be taking my bow. Should be a fun and exciting hunt since I have not done it yet. I will also be trying to film as well

    Bowhunt them? Probably not. But they will die with the 12 gauge. Tradition.
