Bowhunting Spring Gobblers

By Tim Herald

With a new year upon us, many bowhunters are thinking about the warm days of spring and with that, the gobble of the wild turkey. Turkey hunting with a bow is a real challenge, and one I’ve enjoyed for many years. I have taken 25 wild turkey grand slams, many of those with a bow. This is truly one of my most favorite times of the year.

I was nearly 12,000 feet above sea level, trying to dig my long, boney fingers into any crevice the nearly 65-degree rock face would offer, when it hit me like a stiff headwind: I really wasn’t prepared for this hunt. As much as my male bowhunting ego hated to admit it, I wasn't physically, mentally or emotionally ready to handle such an extreme hunt. That’s a tough thing to admit on many levels, and it was especially difficult when I was faced with a 40-foot free fall into what would be a bone-busting rockslide.
