Depends on my season.  I have been put in that situation before, but I have never pulled the trigger.  Just never really felt right to me.

It is still legal to whoop your wife once a year in Arkansas, does that make it OK. (In reference to shooting a turkey with a rifle.) Right On

All my hunting is on Public land so I would shoot him, I enjoy calling the birds in and watching them strut, but I go hunting to bring a bird back.

In a situation like this or if a bird comes in quiet to some decoys and my calling didn't get him to make a sound or strut, I'll still take him but it feels pretty anti-climactic. Can't get too excited about the kill... but it gets me closer to filling my limit so I can focus on taking other people hunting.

I've never had that scenario, but if I did, Bang. I hunt tough Public. You take your shot, when you get one.

You actually have public land loaded with birds? That would be nice.

Many years our public land is better than our private.. I have never hunted the large forests and am basing my observations on 400-600 acre chunks

I have passed on several and will continue to do so. I only hunt public land and this spring will be 41 years chasing gobblers. I'm an old school turkey hunter and feel I have to call the gobbler inside 40 yards to earn the right to kill him.

I have a 5 day season in Wi. If I get a shot, he's going home with me. Would be no different than walking up on a buck during deer season. I'm shooting both. Mike   Right On
