Today Clay Hayes is bow searching wild turkeys in the Idaho mountains with Matt Schuster, the present Presendent of the Specialist Bowhunter’s Society PBS.
Although turkey searching is a difficulty no matter what weapon or approach you select, searching turkeys with a conventional bow and without a blind is borderline difficult. Sign Up With Clay and Matt as they attempt to employ and put an arrow into among these eager eyed gobblers. Matt is searching with his longbow and Clay with an osage selfbow recurve.
Right from the start the people enjoy birds with a Jake and great Tom can be found in to the decoys. However when bowhunting, getting close is simply the start. You still need to draw and shoot which, with wild turkeys, can be the most tough obstacle.
Eliminating a wild turkey with a longbow isn’t a challenging thing. You check a great place, established a popup blind, set out a decoy or more, and wait. When the birds appear, you shoot one. Easy peasy! However like a great deal of bow searching, the hunt is what you make from it.
Turkey searching is envigorating, consuming, frustrating. When I initially began turkey searching in Mississippi I was a little lukewarm to the entire affair. Afterall, it’s a huge bird with a brain the size of a pea. How tough might it potentially be ?! However after a couple of aggravating hunts I started to comprehend how the wild turkey might draw in such a devout following throughout the southern states.
That very first turkey season was likewise my very first spring in grad school at Mississippi State. With a lite course load and classes not beginning up until later on in the early morning I was totally free to hunt. And hunt I did. Forty of the forty 5 day season I was chasing after those damn public land birds. The other 5 days were most likely storming …
I would get up well prior to daybreak to attempt ‘n capture a gobbler still on the roost, get setup, listen to the woods awaken around me, listen to the birds fly down and, more times than not, head the other method with an entourage of hens. Then I ‘d create a sure fire prepare for the next day just to be tricked once again. However through large stubbornness I had the ability to end up that very first season with 3 public land toms in the freezer. That was with a shotgun.
Quick forward a couple of years and I discover myself living once again in the middle of some fantastic turkey searching in north Idaho. However unlike the amazingly paranoid Eastern subspecies of Mississippi, the western Merriam’s would let you get away with a lot more. So I required to searching them with my selfbow … and no blind.
The entire no blind thing is where the trouble can be found in. Discovering birds is simple. Calling them in isn’t too extremely tough either. However getting to complete make use of an unwary animal with absolutely no interest and eyes like an eagle is damn near difficult. Damn near however not completely! That’s what I keep informing myself anyhow. I’m starting to question that.
With the majority of this spring invested in Florida I was just able to hunt turkeys for about a week this year. However despite the fact that we ended yet another season turkeyless, we had a fun time. I had the ability to get one shot at a jake however shot simply high as he was ranging from my moving shape tucked into the brush. Next year though. Next year it’s gon na take place.
