I’m turkey hunting with traditional archery tackle this week on Outdoor Magazine Television.
This was my first season hunting with a Predator Recurve Bow, and while I expected a challenge, I didn’t realize how hard the hunt would be.
I hunted for twelve days during the early Michigan season. There were several close encounters and a few missed birds during that time. I didn’t give up though, and on the last night of the season, I got one more chance to get the job done.
This season I’ll be hunting at the opposite end of the archery spectrum with a Darton Lightning crossbow. I’ll let you know how that experience goes.
You can see Outdoor Magazine TV on broadcast stations across Michigan and nationally on Sportsman Channel. Air times on Sportsman include Sunday night at 9, Thursday evening at 7, Saturday morning at 7:30, Wednesday at 8:30AM and Friday at 1AM.
I just got done watching this episode on Sportsman Channel. I applaude your effort using the recurve. I have set a higher goal for my turkey this spring. I am going to try to take one with a slingshot. Yes a slingshot. If I can call one in to twenty yards I have a better than even chance to be successful. You will get a photo of my bird. I only have five days though. Then a second chance in May. Keep up the good work.

Slingshot…wow, that’s taking turkey hunting to a whole new level!
Good luck Larry. I can’t wait to see the pictures.
