Last year was the first year for Kansas to have a specific season for archery spring turkey. I have several ground blinds built that I re-cover every year. Mostly they are 2.5 feet high and covered with red cedar.
I figured if I built them up slightly higher they'd work find for archery. I was completely and totally wrong. Over the course of the season I had 8 different toms inside 20 yards, and I never once got drawn without being seen. I never got a shot. Once I was even completely hidden behind a huge oak tree and got drawn but was spotted as a slowly eased over to shoot. Simply put, it's just too hard. Part of the issue is being seen, but even more is that with a bow the turkey only needs to get slightly worried and start walking away. With a shotgun that's still a no-doubt kill, but with a bow I wouldn't try a moving bird. Eventually I got frustrated with all the birds I was educating and switched back to the shotgun.
So now I've got 3 doublebull type blinds to use. They were new to me before this past fall deer season, but I was pleased with the results. I plan on putting two of them out at a couple of the best spots and saving one for a daily deployment.
