General Forum / Re: How much space do we need?

If there is a truck there, I'm moving on. As John Wayne once said "I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same of them."

About 20 years ago, long before social media, I was on a 8-mile long stretch of 'strike a chalk line straight,' out of state ridgetop state forest road. I roosted a gobbler about 200 yards down the sidehill that night, as I'd worked him and a couple satellite gobblers earlier that morning across the valley.

Next morning, I parked on that dirt road long before daylight, and crept to 75 yards of the tree. At daylight he fired up on the roost gobbling like crazy.

Above me I heard a truck crunch the gravel and stop about where I left mine...you can see about 1/2 mile in each direction...guy opens door, and hears this bird gobble. He owl hoots few times, does a cackle, and proceeds to slam truck doors and get dressed. He starts down over sliding though the leaves.

I wave an orange strip of cloth to get his attention. He sees me, turns his controlled fall, and slides straight to my tree.

He leans in to whisper to me... "You hear that gobbler?"

"Yeah."

"You gonna hunt that bird?"

"What do you think, genius, I'm in camo with a shotgun."

He stands up, and walks back up to the road making as much noise as possible. Never did hear that bird again.

If there is a truck there, I move along. Wish others extended that same courtesy.

Mouth Call Making Discussion / Re: I Need Your Help (Mouth Ca...

Last post by GobbleNut - February 02, 2026, 11:54:46 AM

Hey Ezra,...Good luck with your endeavor. You have obviously put in a lot of effort with this and I hope it works out for you.  As you are probably aware, there has been a lot of discussion about this subject on the site over the years...but only from a handful of us mouth call junkies that frequent this place. As much as we preach the benefits of making one's own calls...both skill-wise and financially...there seems to be limited interest by "the masses". Maybe you will spur some new interest amongst the group.

Each of you are SPOT ON and have expressed some Great Comments and Concerns.  For me, it's about Hunter Ethics and CONSIDERATION!  Since most of us understand that Scouting and using your two feet to turkey hunt is Top Priority, it blows my mind how many people don't have more CONSIDERATION when they turkey hunt.  If you get beat to a spot, move somewhere else, period.  If someone is working a bird or you accidently walk in on someone, have the consideration to offer a Heartfelt apology and head away from that area immediately.  No excuses, just apologize and leave the way you came in.  And one last thing, I've had more hunts blown by people that think you Road Hunt turkeys in vehicles.  Scout them early and often and use your legs to get to them.  Great thread and posts Gentlemen.
