Hunting Style Poll

[PANYHunter]

I voted for 1 and 2.  Usually its a combo depending on the birds that day or how spooked they are.  I don't see the problem with bushwhacking though and use that method sometimes.  Not trying to compare deer and turkey hunting but bushwhacking is how most people hunt deer.

1 and 2 for me!, not a big fan of bushwhacking, not saying that I wont do it I just feel like Im cheating???

I voted 1 and 2, although there seems to be some variation on what is considered "run and gun".  I have bushwacked em, I've heard it refered to as bobcatting, and while it isn't as fun, I sure never felt like I was cheating.  Somehow slithering on my belly a couple hundred yards through mud and weeds while taking my chances with the snakes doesn't seem like cheating.  Some of you have this false sense of taking the morally higher ground by promising a tom a little "action" and then introducing him to the business end of a 12 ga.  Do you really think he thinks that is fair?  I'd bet he'd opt for his chances with the sneak attack.

I would compare roost shooting to spotlighting deer.

I voted #4.....

now before everybody gets their panties in a wad, let me clarify something.....

I DO NOT KILL TURKEYS WHILE THEIR FEET ARE ON THE LIMB

however, 75% of the turkeys I kill are on the initial set-up off the roost.

when we don't kill 'em right off the tree, we typically bounce around with crow calls every 200-300 yards in areas turkeys like to try and strike gobblers.

By the way.  If you vote #4, be prepared to catch a lot of grief.

My personal hunting style is whatever the birds are demanding that day.  Sometimes a little of the first 2.

Spot on...

[savduck]

A little of 1,2, and 3. What ever it takes legally.

[Muskie03]

I run and gun for turkeys and GIRLS.

[3chunter]

I'm an aggressive turkey hunter most of the time...if I am by myself. I'm a little more slow when I'm with someone else.  If you have great woodsman skills and know how and when to move then a lot of times you can kill birds a lot quicker then the average joe.  You have to let the gobbler dictate what YOU do however.   

[paintbrush]

My "favorite" style is run'n'gun. I will sit and wait them out if I have to, or if the piece of land I'm hunting on is small. I just like to go out and make things happen if possible.

[Crutch]

My favorite style is when the odds are against me. Expecially when there are several sets of eyes looking for that sexy hen.  That could be any situation.  Oh, except before flydown.
