I will add that I revealed myself to none of the turkeys I called in today and they walked off none the wiser.

I like that. I bought some sort of 3D printed cover that has served me really well. Can't remember where I ordered it from.

They are considered migratory birds in Oregon too.

Congrats Hill!! Thanks for the update. Lazy road shooters have no idea how dangerous it is. Glad you were safe and successful.

Unfortunately, there are very, very few I have respect for anymore as turkey hunters. We are indeed a dying breed.

For myself, I would not shoot a turkey if I couldn't eat the meat. I find shooting a turkey for myself and myself only, pointless if it is not for meat consumption. I went out and watched turkeys all day today. Called several into gun range. I'm tagged out, so I had no gun with me, but they were great hunts. I don't need to have a gun to have great time "hunting" turkeys, but I do need one if I'm going to eat their meat, which is the only reason I would have a gun.
I made sure that there were no other hunters around today before I went in there.
If I had a tag I would have shot one, , removed the breast, thighs and drumsticks, heart, liver, gizzard, boiled the carcass for stock, aged it for three days and butchered it into meal sized parts. I would then have many turkey meals for quite a while. It is the only reason that I hunt them. I enjoy every aspect of the hunt, however, those enjoyments come second to the enjoyment of cooking wild turkey.
