San Diego turkey?

Never heard of anyone shooting a turkey from a tree stand, but I guess you could do it.....I think I'd rather take a small pop-up blind.
ps.....I like my bow too.....But turkeys are tough enough as it is.....I don't need it to be any harder.....lol
I talk to Deer Hunters and there has been occasion where a turkeys walked right under their stands. no big deal. but tougher to set up. personnel preference I guess.. Blinds to me are to restrictive in the shooting lanes. but they are good in hiding the movement..
I got one guy saying the turkeys know what they are and you saying use them hahaha
I mean I need one of them to hide movement

I'm getting confused now haha
You said not a great idea to use a blind cause you can't really call/decoy then cause of other hunters.
But that's what it looks like you were doing? Is that private or just a good place you found that you knew no one would be around

There are tons of different scenarios.....Those pictures are from a youth hunt in Santa Ysabel Preserve.....No other hunters around.....We used natural veg above the decoys.....It would be perfect for a bow.....Again, using a blind is just one tool of many that are used in different situations.....Most bow hunters I know use decoys & pop-ups (public or private).....And I don't recall ever saying you can't call from a pop-up or blind.....Lee said, don't use a gobble call. Which is sound advice on public land.
Another angle from the blind. Looking down on the decoys from 20 yds and in the shade.

Bottom line I gotta get out there and set up, and see what the situation calls for and then set up appropriately

boots on the ground took me 4years to seal the deal, had to get the birds to come over to public land
MaN that's a long time, but it's a rewarding feeling for sure

They meet in Poway??? Lol I have been living here for years and did not know this. I guess it is time to join. Glad I joined schootdoors, I am already learning new things.
this is a really lame conversation as people want everything for free. you gotta get out and scout to learn.
Free handouts are a guided hunt. I'm asking for a general starting ground to scout

General area would be Cleveland national forest. Get onx maps and start scouting if you are unwilling to do that you will not get a bird.
Saw a couple hen groups this morning, about 10 in total, in a very popular public land spot. Let's hope they make it through the fall.
I have found that the best way to find turkeys is to go deer-hunting.
