I going for the first one with my phoenix. I have never hunted turkey before and have never fired a shotgun. I trust the phoenix more is what it boils down to. I do have an old single shot from sears, that I might use for my second, if I can get out to pattern it in the spring.

Anyone know where some good turkey shot placement for bow images on the web are? Or turkey anatomy images?

Benu;

Do you know of some good turkey hunting areas around Ottawa? I've never seen them anywhere where I hunt for deer outside of Ottawa. But Ottawa itself is full of them! Unfortunately, we can't hunt in the 'burbs.

Phoenix Tom,

I've been watching a flock all winter on NCC land in the green belt. At least 3 good size Toms. They are so protected, that they hang out in a field right next to the road! My wife says I should just go and get one, but I have decided to down to North Augusta.

In the summer I saw lots of signs and heard them going to roost in the Marlborough Forest, on eastern side of Rogers Pond. I actually found what looked like a turkey blind from the spring too.

I'm trying a new broadhead for Turkey this year. I like the looks and the damage it does to the bird is awsome. Has anyone tried them yet? I orderd 6 from Ebay today and hope they will be here by the middle of next week.

Gary L,

Tell your wife to keep up the fight and she will most likely succeed two days before the opener

i shot my first one with my gun.after that i went to bowhunting them.the challange is amazing,and i have shot my last three including the michigan NWTF state record with a bow at 25lbs.Now that i have moved on to a cross bow ,im looking forward to many years turkey hunting with it.

so once you get one in the bag ,go for it,youll never look back.
