Hello Everybody, Setup my camp for bow season. Now that I'm retired I plan to spend a bunch of time hunting out of it. Here is a video of the camp as it stands now. Probably will make some adjustments to gear a the season progresses. take care, brian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC_m4XY_1MM

Hello Everybody, Here is a short video I made about starting a campfire using a bow drill. With camping season in full swing it might be fun to give it a try with the kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSkxNhTcakc Take care, brian

Quite a bit different method for turkey than I am used to. You hunt them from a elevated stand like guys hunt deer over a food plot and are mostly relying on using a decoy to get the bird to come within range. Interesting. Take care and Good Luck Hunting.

Wolc, The calling is the fun and exciting part of turkey hunting.

tree blind? Is a tree blind a elevated tree stand? If so I've never seen anybody hunt turkeys that way. Deer yes but never turkeys. I have always hunted them from the ground with my back to a tree but I am a old school turkey hunter. Unrelated to your original gun question or your elevated blind tactic - I saw a ad for a portable blind that looked like a turkeys fan that I suppose you are to put in front of you as you stalk a turkey? Seemed like a good way to get shot but like I said I hunt a old school and was taught to never stalk a spring turkey.

To the fellow who inquired about using a 16 gauge for turkeys, As long as you are aware of how your gun patterns and at what range it is effective and do not shoot past that distance, go for it. You will not be able to shoot at birds that hang up past your guns range that some hunters with magnum extra full choke shotguns can shoot and kill. All depends on whether you are ok with passing up some shots. Good luck with your turkey quest. To me the fun is in the calling and hunt, the pulling of the trigger is secondary. But that is just where this old man is at after hunting turkeys for over 40 years.
