Six Turkeys in Six Minutes- All Bow

[deadendgraphics]

Did you get them custom made at those # you might get 73 out of a darton¿

[MrSeventhElement]

Why do you wear a face mask?

[GusCongemi]

@MrSeventhElement Turkey's have incredible eyesight, they can pick up a white face in a black blind easily. It's just a precaution. I'd hate to have carried a blind, chair, tripod. camera, decoys, bow and calls and call a Turkey in. Only to have him bust me because he saw something he didn't like.

[Clemensdude55]

is it a bear bow? how much lbs does it have?

[GusCongemi]

@Clemensdude55 I used a few different bows in this video. Darton 80#, Bow Tech 90# and Mathews 70# no Bear.  I turn those heavy poundages down for Turkey.

[MidWestOutdoorz]

fn! awsome takn your own decoy out  to get that bird nice footie man!

[GusCongemi]

@MidWestOutdoorz Didn't plan that. Running your own camera and shooting gets a little tough. I'm glad I got the bird.

[AMAZONVIPER]

Really...do u eat these turkeys or just hunt for game???I hope you eat them..else that is just sad...Man is an omnivore..but hunting for game is like..really sad..Just sharing my opinion.

[GusCongemi]

@AMAZONVIPER The correct way to word that is do you hunt them for sport? And the answer is no, I eat them.

[armyaviationproud]

Shoot. I see a good half dozen turkeys every day on my way to or from work. Saw 8 just on the way back a couple hours ago.

[GusCongemi]

@armyaviationproud Is that an invitation?

[MrAnimalControl]

Dang Gus, how'd I miss this one? Awesome video man, never saw a decoy and tom stuck together before. That's a first. Didn't hunt turkeys this year, but next year the Ol' Hoyt will be plucking one right outta the food chain. lol. Thumbs up!

[GusCongemi]

@MrAnimalControl I didn't plan on sticikng that decoy to that Turkey.

[NasalObstruction]

Gus, in the first kill,It looks as if you are shooting a Matthews with Easton FMJ`s. I am curious as to the weight you are shooting. Being you shoot over 80lbs for big game,I was wondering if the Turkey rig is toned down alot?

[GusCongemi]

@NasalObstruction Good eye, I was shooting a 70# Mathews in 2 of the hunts. I screwed up in Wy. and shot my BowTech at 90#. The arrow blew through the Turkey too fast, I missed nailing the vitals it took the bird 45 min to die. I was lucky the other birds with him, fed for over an hr. in the field. He just laid up in sight of the blind until he expired. I turn down my bows for Turkey, I don't want a pass through. I also went to expandable broadheads.

[NasalObstruction]

@GusCongemi Ok,,so the FMJ`s are quick enough.. I was concerned they may be a bit too slow. I had it in my head the Turkey can jump the string like a deer.  I have a Bowtech Guardian,which I shoot at 65lb @ 28in Draw for deer. Think I should turn it up to 70?

[GusCongemi]

@NasalObstruction Turkeys are usually moving and add in a small kill zone that makes them a tough bow target. It is best to shoot the bird in full strut if possible. I would leave the bow turned down. The slower the better try not to get a pass through. The broadhead seems to do more damage if it stays in while the bird is flopping around. So even on a marginal hit there is a chance the vitals might get punctured if the broadhead is still in.

[NasalObstruction]

@GusCongemi I Neglected to mention I want to use the Magnus Bullhead or possibly the Guillotine,,so my shots will be at the head not the body.

[GusCongemi]

@NasalObstruction Good luck, every year I say I'm going to use the Guillotine and get video and I never see enough birds to do it. Have you shot them before?

[NasalObstruction]

@GusCongemi No,,I havent bow hunted for Turkey yet. I was a gun guy up until the beggining of 2010. I got pretty good very quickly,really got into it. I will be testing the Magnus over the winter so I am prepared for the spring.

[GusCongemi]

@NasalObstruction Good luck, shoot straight

[GusCongemi]

@NasalObstruction My shots have always been less than 25 yds. so most bows are plenty fast at that distance even at less poundage.

[djflex991]

Is not the way to kill turkey man that is not cool at all 

[GusCongemi]

@djflex991 Enjoy your store bought Butterball champ.

[MrMrtiki]

Those turkeys are Merriams right I heard you can make a key chain from the leg & spur and beard thats looks cool .

[GusCongemi]

@MrMrtiki Only the Turkey from Wyoming was a Merriams. The segment with the snow. But that sounds cool for any Turkey.

[otsuka456]

Awesome ! Thanx Gus!

[GusCongemi]

@otsuka456 Thank you for watching

[MrMrtiki]

I agree pinning that one to the decoy was cool ; some great hunts.

[GusCongemi]

@MrMrtiki Thanks

[MrMrtiki]

@GusCongemi I bought myself a PSE Nova last fall still have to go for a hunt with it .

[GusCongemi]

@MrMrtiki What are you waiting for?

[MrMrtiki]

@GusCongemi Oh I broke a knee next spring maybe do a bear.

[GusCongemi]

@MrMrtiki Good luck, take something big

[hunterknapp16]

Amazing how they run like that with a bow!! Seems like everyone I get with a bow makes it atleast 20 or 30 yards.

I love it when they gobble at the decoys like that too!! Great job on all of the birds!! Every bird is awesome with a bow!!

[hunterknapp16]

@hunterknapp16

Damn it, I always comment before the end!! That had to be the funniest stuff I have EVER seen when you stuck that bird to the decoy!! LOL!!

Where were you in NY?? I'm only 5 minutes from the NY border. Right below Elmira, NY.

[GusCongemi]

@hunterknapp16 That was pretty cool. I'm running the video camera, calling and shooting the bow. I guess the decoy looked like fair game. I was in N.Y. on that hunt.

[GusCongemi]

@hunterknapp16 Thanks

[1019drummer]

The bird @ 2:30 and the  Ct. bird we're real nice. Great video and of course Happy Thanksgiving!!

[GusCongemi]

@1019drummer Thanks. Same to you.
