I've been at this place twice in the last two years. It's off any reservation ( close to Rosebud though). The owners of the cottage you can stay in get you in contact with landowners that take you out and show you where to set up. It's a good deal too. It costs 25.00/night/guy to stay in the...

I got my Matrix at Scheels for $399.00.

You just have to tighten your lips by putting a little more pressure on them with your teeth. It hurts if your doing it right You'll notice the pitch will vary with how much pressure you are exerting on your lip ( upper ) with your teeth. The more pressure you add, the higher the rate of...

I apoxy'd a brass eye to it and attatched a lanyard...it's ready to go.

Got home tonight and sanded it, wrapped the joints and put few layers of clear coat on it. A lanyard... and I'm set. The call sounds great. I was able to get yelps, clucks and kee kee runs out of it.

Here's a pic of the call I made today. The apoxy needs to cure before I can sand it.

I was out the other day and found a young jake that had been killed. I took the wings home and removed the bones needed for a call. The whole thing...bone removal, cutting, fitting, boiling, refitting and apoxy took a total of 1 hr. The apoxy is drying as I write this. The calls are the...

I agree with NWBuck, I've done the same thing when gunning for deer. I've had turkeys come up with-in bow range and not give the orange vest in the tree branch above the blind a second look. It may be a function of height too. Blaze orange on, or close to the ground may have different results...

I finally got the chance to set it up and do some experimenting with it today. The weather was perfect so I figured I'd set it up in the backyard and do some shooting. It's really nice to have a blind that is the adaptable. I tried every combination...net up, net down, every sitting...

I wish differences in opinion with my wife worked out this well.

PA, "easier" in the first reply should have been edited to read " more forgiving". Hunting from a blind is inherently more forgiving in terms of a hunter's movement( body movement, not relocation). In my experience, I have found it much easier to call, draw on and kill, turkeys from inside a...

[ QUOTE ] Without a doubt,a gun in a blind is easier than a gun in the open,just as a bow in a blind would be easier than a bow in the open.If this is what you mean DLO,I agree. [/ QUOTE ] You got it.

[ QUOTE ] I want to go turkey hunting this year but I have never been turkey hunting. I mentioned this to my dad and he asked what I wanted to use shotgun or bow. I don't know yet so I was wondering what you guys would suggest to start with? [/ QUOTE ] Youngmoose... start with a gun. If you...

You made excellent points. Relocation is definately easier when you're runnin'-n-gunnin' and not tied to a blind. My initial post was assuming all variables were equal....no relocation. I'm positive I gave the wrong impression with the wording of my initial post....my point was supposed to be...

I think I might be saying what a lot of guys here are either going to disagree with, or be too proud to admit, but it's the hard truth. Hunting turkeys from a blind with a bow( assuming you can actually shoot the bow you take in the field ) is definately "easier" than hunting them with a gun...

I think a better looking bow could have been made with an Erector Set and some clothes line.

I've taken birds with equal luck in hunting AM vs PM. I really like setting up like Muddy does....near an approach to a roosting site in the afternoon. I prefer morning hunts because of the toms tend to be a little more vocal just off the roost. I have noticed the numbers of birds seen in...

Muddy, it seems like the add-ons would complicate the thru-the-net shots. Have you had any troubles with that? I have considered putting something behind the broadhead but haven't because most of my birds have been taken from a T2 and shot through the net. I just bought a Matrix so I'll more...

I look in admiration when I see hunting videos showing guys taking turkeys with a bow, and seeing the arrow stop, in the bird, dumping all it's energy on target. The next scene in the video is always the hunter walking back to the blind, with his bird AND his arrow! I have yet to take a...

I agree Monsterbuck! They do say though, the Switchback doesn't exibit the same fault. I don't know if Mathews put different strings on it or not. After I put the WC strings on the Outback, I couldn't be happier. I looked at the Switchback today when I was a Scheels stocking up on diaphram...
