General Forum / Re: How much space do we need?
Last post by Bowguy - Today at 08:01:12 AM
This thread is exactly why id prefer driving 5hrs hunt if need be to actually hunt without interference.
The next part bothers me a little. Way back when no one would  tell you anything.
Most guys would prob sit where they saw them deer season and quit after a short spell of unsuccessful hunting.
Today the old school guys have shared good info in order to pass it down.
Idk if we just havent expressed how valuable the info is and to be respectful and courteous to other hunters or if the newer guys just feel entitled. Theres no reason for a calling contest be it ducks, turkey, etc and the safety factor should be considered.
Fellas we need to relay this info to our mentees even on here.
Most the guys posting about this have been at this a long time.
Id be interested to see some 10yr or less experience hunters thoughts. Its not the old school guys screwing you. And I will say in vast areas i see the reasoning for talking to another guy at a gate. Myself id just never be there late as someone else. I can remember exactly one time in over 40 years someone asked what part of a piece i was going to. It was youth day, thats why i was later. Getting little girls up is tough.
I was walking in to a 50acre piece of federal land that was sandwiched between private property.
He asked "what part i was going to?"
What part of 50 acres?
Told him i didnt wanna have a call contest with him. If he was going in id leave but id not do that to him. I had birds roosted there and another spot. If he decided to go id tell him where other birds were. I did he left. My oldest daughter killed a bird. We prob could had a double. Idk how the other guy made out but ill never get why someone asks "which part of the 50 acres?"

Glad I stockpiled up!
I have enough TSS to last me well beyond my years of hunting, but if I was starting up, I would go with a 12 and longbeard XR.

Hey everyone!!!
It's been a long time since I have been on here!
Still see a lot of familiar faces, and some new ones!
Lot has happened over the last couple years.
I suffered sudden cardiac arrest, and collapsed on my bathroom floor in December of 23. My daughter was home from college and was awake.
She heard me fall, got her mother up.
I was on my bathroom floor, eyes open, lips turning blue.
Maddie did 10 minutes of CPR while they waited for EMS to arrive.
EMS came, and gave me the shock that started my heart.
I was fortunate. Out of hospital SCA kills 90% of its victims. I now have an implanted cardiac defibrillator that protects me. I was clinically dead for 14 minutes.....
To survive with full cognitive function is around 5-6%.
Forever grateful for my family that morning.
Please learn CPR. Someone you love dearly may depend on it!!

Quote from: ScottTaulbee on January 31, 2026, 07:56:38 PMFor me, my obsession with turkey hunting since I was a kid started with knowing that you're not "hunting" as in the sense of deer hunting. You're communicating with that animal, in its natural "language" and have learned enough about that animal to be able to replicate its language in a way that they understand and you trick them. The turkey call is the means to that end and that's why I've always been fascinated with turkey calls. And waterfowl calls also.

I agree with what you stated. I started waterfowl hunting years before turkey hunting but only have a handful of duck/goose calls I use and rarely buy new ones. I think it is also something to do with the depth of communication you can have Turkey hunting compared to other game is what has me hooked on Turkey hunting so much and the want to try new calls.

Probably a terrible analogy but I've turkey hunted since I was 5 and I'll be 31 this year so I guess you could look at it as I'm " married to turkey hunting". I've found the calls I like and the call makers that design suit me and I might add a couple a year. Mainly for the kids now. But I started waterfowl hunting 7 years ago, after always wanting to do it since I was a kid but we're off the flyway and don't see many, so it's like that pretty woman that flirted and you know shouldn't flirt back but I did and also touched and now I want to explore all aspects of it lol.

I'm a 3 state turkey hunter in the north east. Hopefully soon to be a 4 state turkey hunter. Pa, Ny, Nj.
My toughest state is in Ny, the Catskill region. But it's also my favorite state.

I'm looking forward to this upcoming spring with all you OG-ers.
B-Well
