Chris Bee produces some of the best archery content on YouTube, and this late-March 2026 bowhunt to Nebraska is no exception. Chris and his cameraman spend an afternoon scouting for birds and come up with plans A, B and C.

As Chris explains, early spring turkeys are often found in large groups, but that doesn’t mean the birds are easier to kill. In fact, luring a gobbler into pointblank bow range is often more difficult when they are in big groups; the toms have no reason to leave dozens of hens to come check out your one or two decoys. Chris chooses plan C — a group of eight birds roosted together — instead of his other options because those encompass much bigger flocks.

The 16-minute YouTube video is outstanding, but if you don’t have time to watch all of it, I’ll provide some viewing timeline suggestions. The first tom pitches down from the roost at the 8:30 mark of the video. Toms often pitch down first when roosted close to hens; they strut around within sight of the roost tree in hopes of luring the hens down to them. The rest of the flock begins pitching down at the 9:30 mark.

Fast-forward to the 10:53 mark to see the close encounter. At the 11:20 mark, watch closely under Chris’s bow hand and you’ll see the tom strut in from left to right. The distance is only 4 yards!

As Chris waits for the tom to approach the decoys, he draws his bow at the 11:30 mark. Smart! You don’t want to wait too long to draw because the situation could unravel at any moment. You want to be at full draw and waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself.

About 30 seconds later, the gobbler is broadside and inching closer to the strutter decoy. When the tom pauses for a split-second, Chris hammers him. Chris is using the new G5 Outdoors Dirty Bird Broadhead, which is designed for head/neck shots. You’ll see that it works extremely well!

This video perfectly illustrates the benefit of using a broadhead designed for head/neck shots. I’ve relied on Magnus Bullheads in the past, and this spring I’ll be using them as well as the new Dirty Bird. Not only does this type of broadhead result in a quick kill or a complete miss, but when you do drop a bird, all the meat is in perfect condition. Give one of these broadheads a try this spring; you won’t be sorry!
