Turkey hunters are kinda crazy
« on: January 15, 2019, 09:31:00 AM »
I was looking at the new Rogers spring sale flyer. Fancy turkey loads, tss up to $4.50 a pop down to cheap Federal’s at 79 cents a boom. A bird in range with either load is a dead bird boys and girls.
Kinda like a DSD or a Walmart foam decoy. They both work......sometimes.

You think turkey hunters are crazy about gear, run in some of the archery circles for a while.  Those guys will sell everything they have and 'upgrade' the next year.  Flagship bows every year.

Just like any other sport. Arrows, broadheads, basketball shoes, even exercise bikes. Its all personnel preference.

Turkey hunters worst enemy is a turkey hunter that thinks differently and thinks he needs others to know his ways are superior.

And then there's duck hunters

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Agreed!  I'd hate to see the coin some of those guys drop on their duck hunting Sitka digs!

I don't care what anyone spends. It's their money and I enjoy the entertainment.

So what's worse, people who have to have the best stuff, or those that think they're better because they look down their noses at them?

The world would be a better place if everyone minded their own damn business.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

It might be easier if people that wanted keep everyone out of their business didn't plaster it all over the internet.

Well.....I sometimes think I spend too much on turkey hunting, but if I add up the fishing bill then there's no comparison.  :-[

Let's see:

A new deep V boat last year
at least 3 new rods
I don't even count the lures
XXX gallons of gas
Charter fees
Hotels

Man I hope the minister of finance never adds this up! Oh she did buy me the new boat last year....yeah I got a keeper when I hooked that one.

A lot of turkey hunters tend to be a bit sensitive too!

That is the understatement of this new year. I wonder how some people make it thru the day in the real world when they get so upset about what someone they have never met wrote on a forum lol.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?
