oh..ok..but never came tomind to shoot one when they come close?
what breed do you have in your place?

Mostly easterns in this area with some rio's a little further west . Sure I shoot one occasionally during deer season if I have a tag. I don't always buy a tag for fall season though. Also I'm shooting them with a bow from a treestand, so I'm not going to attempt that unless they are under 20 yds. and no deer in sight.

redrider, have you been using bow since the time you fist hunt? that's cool

No! When I'm deer hunting I have my bow, that's why in the fall if I shoot a Turkey it's with the bow. I generally use a shotgun during the spring season. Will probably start using the bow for Turkey more starting next season.
As far as deer go, I started hunting them with a rifle and have been using a bow for about 6 years. I find using the bow much more challenging and more rewarding

i've walked up on hen's on their nests a bunch and each time its something different. gotta love wildlife.

is it ok in Kansas to use shotgun when deer hunting? Here in Utah, i thinkits a to use shotgun for deers.

20 gauge or larger using only slugs, during regular firearms seasons.

You can use 20 gauge or larger using 00 buck shot or larger and slugs.

First let me say its really cool that theres a turkey forum at BGH now! I love to tukey hunt and read and learn about them. I seen a hen in the open with a clutch about 6 weeks ago and wonder how many survived the predators. I guess they do alright we have lots of turkey here!
