Hey all, I will be hunting archery only which is the last 4 seasons. It will be a fun time for sure! Spur collectors sounds good. Good Luck!

[CFD200]

Spur Collectors sounds fine by me. I am going to go out with my 15 yo son opening weekend in the Belle Plaine area. Looking forward to being in the woods.

[rkhinrichs]

sounds good to me! Spur Collectors. well sounds like we will be hunting the late seasons. this is my second year hunting turkeys what about others?

[theghost_03]

This is my 15th year chasing gobblers, I've only gone one year empty handed so hopefully my luck continues. I have two weeks before I take off to the Black Hills so were close!

[bluehat28]

So Spur Collectors it is? So the yeas have it!

Been bowhunting them for the last 4 years with prolly 10 more before that with gun. It is a lot harder to get a shot off with the bow.

[rkhinrichs]

yea last year i missed twice with my bow. long shots!!

[theghost_03]

Sounds great! Now let's get some thunder chickens down boys!

[rkhinrichs]

just order some MX Phantom Muzzys 100gr!! from chalstroms. so i guess im ready to let some arrows fly! what broadheads are other shooting?

[CFD200]

I have been hunting turkeys about 32 years. I started when I would make trips to Missouri with my father. Then I started hunting MN when it got easier to get tags. I have attempted with the bow but I usually start with it and finish with the gun. Saw two gobblers out in yards trying to dry off here in Chanhassen yesterday.

[theghost_03]

They are definetly starting to heat up. I've benn out and heard some gobbling and had a big strutters 15 yards from me yesterday I watched for a while.

[rbs]

I will be using Rage 2 blades...they made one heck of a impression on me with deer. I have also used muzzy 3 blades with luck

[DonBo]

FWIW, I've had great luck with larger 3 blade mechanical heads. My choice recently has been the Rocket Mini Blaster.

Heard too horror stories about the two blade Rage not getting the job done on turkeys.

[rbs]

I have heard the stories also, but just like everything shot placement is king. The only thing I am worried about is a complete pass thru. I might even buy the turkey heads to make sure it doesn't go thru all the way (or hopefully anyways) I will check out the 3 blade rockets tho...that sounds good as well!

[rkhinrichs]

you could lower your poundage. or shoot 125 grains? but i know that is hard when one has good mojo with their bow.

[theghost_03]

I'm hoping to try and take my first bird by bow this spring. I'm probably gonna wind up using the rage two blade. With all the snow we just got they might be standing pretty stationary for a shot! Thankfully I've got a little time before I hunt. Had to cancel the Black Hills trip I had for the weekend with the mess out there. Maybe next year!

Hi Guys, Im a late arrival and Im proud to be on your spur collectors team. I will be hunting Iowa Monday for sure and will see if I can make another day depending on work. I typically go out to Nebraska's Pine Ridge Forest Area for about 5 days, but there was a massive fire back in September. The fire burnt thousand's of acres where we hunted, so I probably won't be goin. I will also be hunt ing in MN last seasons with my bow.

Im excited for Iowa, it has treated me pretty good over the last few years. I hunt on public land in the northern part of the state. I will be hunting a piece that was opened out for the first time this year for turkey hunting. The piece is not that big, so I hope nobody will beat me out there. Good Luck to you all.

[rkhinrichs]

welcome to the team delzz7!
