Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

Seems the complaining is constant on here. People speaking of the old days when grand pappys spot on the wma where you used to hear 10 birds now only hear one or two. Complaining that the YouTube boys have "ruined" your state. That people can shoot too far and people shouldn't use decoys. That you have to wake up at 3AM to get the gate you want. At the end of the day the killers are still gonna kill and you'll find something  to point your finger at as to why you can't. People want to kill turkeys then won't get up at 3 to be at the gate. It comes down to nut cutting time and there aren't many people that wanna cut nuts no more.

Before this heads south at a rapid pace i might just say this. Maybe to some of us this isn't about not being able to kill gobblers. Maybe this about us not wanting to kill ALL the gobblers. Maybe it is about a healthy population and not leaving the woods barren of something that means a lot to us.

And I agree more than anyone to protect the resource. While some get a bad rep the biologists over all do a good job on monitoring bird populations such OK going to one bird state due to repeating years of bad hatchlings. It is proven that the more birds are pressured the less they gobble. Just because the bird doesn't gobble doesn't mean that he's not there and using such a method to determine bird population is flawed. I wouldn't gobble either if every time I made a peep 3 bush wookies came at me from all directions.

I agree with most of what you've said. I was taught there is major difference between a turkey hunter and a turkey killer. Anybody can call themselves a hunter, but not many can kill their limit each season with ease using the resources available and the ability to quickly adapt and overcome. WITH THAT SAID, I do think the commercialization of turkey hunting has brought on some negative deals with it.

Its an honor to be inducted into the turkey killer group.

I like hunting and killing, so win win!

I agree with part of it though, good turkey hunters/killers will find a way.

I kill public land birds in pressured areas each spring, not my favorite spots but they are convenient and have birds, funny thing is several of the "hottest birds" i have killed in the past few years have been on public in easily accessible spots so go figure.

X3 .. i agree. Hunt the way you want, but remember some people still may not like your ways..

Put me on record that i think nut cutting should be made illegal as a method of taking turkeys.

Boy that was a mouthful. Mind you now these are just my opinions. I think grouping hunters together in one category of complainers is a mistake. Some are lazy and have taken hunting turkey's for granted. Most have an its all about me attitude. They started hunting during the boom in turkey populations. To say they were spoiled with a gluttony of wild turkeys is probably an understatement. Grand pappy's favorite spot probably did hold 10 gobblers. For guys my age and older grand pappy was lucky if he was even able to find a gobbler or for that matter be able to legally hunt wild Turkey's. Now when the hunting gets tough most in the spoiled crowd don't what to do so they complain. Some on the other hand see what is happening on a broader scale. They are concerned and see a need for change. They don't want things to be like when their Grand pappy grew up.

Killers gonna kill! I think that statement might have aged you a bit. I think what gets lost in all this is a lot of hunters , and I bet this is mostly separated by age groups, are just out to kill. Most miss out on the greatest part of hunting this fine bird. I know I'll be stepping on toes with this next statement. You don't get this from sitting in a gobbler lounger behind a flock of decoys eating snacks and sleeping until a tom comes running into your spread or by reaping. Effective tactics for sure. Maybe too effective. For some it's probably the only way they can participate. I can't bring myself to understand why an able bodied person would choose to use these tactics more than just a couple times. I don't hunt open areas. My opinions are based on the areas I like to hunt. Grasslands and open country or not on my list of destinations.

I have used decoys in my younger days during a period when I felt the need to validate myself as a turkey hunter. I've lain in wait for a Tom to come running to spread without calling. I felt empty inside compared to gobblers I shot coming to the call. There was no feeling of accomplishment. As I matured as a turkey hunter I knew how I needed to hunt them.

I'm not claiming all hunters need to hunt how I hunt. I feel you're missing something great if you don't. Again my opinion! I think the need for all turkey hunters to step back and see what is happening on the broader scale is definitely in order.
Ga is likely changing their starting date for the next couple years. Sucks for me as a northern boy. The Ga start date will likely coincide with the start date in my home state. Also the start date will be around the time poison oak starts to leaf. I can't for the life of me hunt later in the season in southern states without coming home with a nice rash from that stuff.

Thinking of more than myself I say let's see how it goes.

You have 9 posts and this what you throw out there?

You don't like constant complaining but what you do? Complain.

Maybe you can find another site to visit with less complaining.....just a thought.

It's been my experience that people who see themselves as "killers" are usually anything but; and those that actually do kill birds on a regular basis know it's about so much more than just that.

Regardless how you hunt, age, health and other conditions may mandated how you hunt. So as a older hunter, i think some of use have paid our due's. Hunt the way you feel best let's you enjoy the sport of turkey hunting. I remember the days of maybe hearing 2 gobblers in the spring.  Just because you feel this is the only way to hunt these birds and your missing out on how to hunt these birds without any aid's is your own opinion, just like others have opinions. It's awesome some morning just seeing that sunrise and hearing a gobbler sound off in the distance regardless if you kill it or not. Hearing a gobbler is better than not hearing one any day. I spend all year working the land for turkeys and playing my calls pretty much all year long.  IMO... good luck this spring. I said i wasn't going to post..omg..

I like turtles.

Great points Paulmyr! I myself don't use decoys but did in my younger years like you. I was really using that point to push the hunt how you want to hunt but don't complain about how others do. Which seems to be a lot of recently.

Most of the " true killers " i know don't feel the need to explain there selves . 

Another newbie expert.  This is why I avoid OG during season.  I check it for messages and I see this crap. 

Sounds like the OP was doing a lot of complaining himself.

Kill or no kill, I feel blessed everyday I can get up and be in the woods to hear it wake up!

Another newbie expert.  This is why I avoid OG during season.  I check it for messages and I see this crap.

You got that right.

If becoming a "Killer" requires a person to forfeit their sense  of stewardship and concern for the welfare of the resource there's nothing admirable about that.

I've spent plenty of nights in my truck at gates around the country, driven clean through the night plenty of times to make a flydown hunt, shot turkeys in a few states and I kill a few turkeys each season, too.  The driven, obsessive tendencies of "Killers" are not foreign to me. 

But, I believe the data driven science indicating we are simply overharvesting turkeys in many places.  I also believe that people contributing to the commercialization of the sport have the tendency to prioritize their own well-being (I.E. $$$$$$) over the resource while disguising their capitalist tendencies in a conservation facade.

Their inclination is more to say "What I'm doing is good for recruiting turkey hunters," or "Selling more licenses is good for state wild life agencies, which is supposed to translate into better turkey hunting" but they ignore the obvious fact that poult production has been steadily decreasing in most places around the country and we, as a community, have been killing record numbers of turkey

There are MANY conveniently ignored counterpoints but one is the fact that new hunters really crave killing and the need to fill tags to validate to themselves that they're improving.  Meanwhile, those who have been at this a while are leveraging various combinations of digitally handheld maps, TSS, biological information, decoys, blinds, fans, etc to become more effective than ever at killing these birds.

So when I see a post like this on the most frequently visited turkey hunting forum out there it really frustrates me.  Becoming an accomplished turkey hunter does not mean you should prioritize your desire to kill above the health of the resource.  In my opinion, it's ok to lobby on behalf of the bird and to advocate for restrictions that will decrease your own opportunities and those of others if that makes sense based on population dynamics.  And right now, we need a few more people worried about turkeys and not their reputation as being a "Killer."

For what it's worth, I've personally hunted with the OP and he's not a kill hungry, let's waste the resource kind of guy. I think what he was getting at was there's a lot of complainers on here in general. I think that some of that has to do with YouTube and public land (which we've seen a lot of discussion on lately). To be honest, I do have mixed feelings on this because I think many of the youtubers have a lot of passion and do it the right way. But they've also added a whole bunch of travelling guys who just want to post to the gram. His words about killers gona kill could be taken out of context, but I do believe there's a lot of bitching and complaining on here from a few guys.

Cool if you to clarify the killer Gona kill statement,  because it " could " be mis interpreted I reckon .
  But IMO that's what this forum is for ? To discuss all things turkey ...

To me, Killers Gonna Kill means that some are instinctively better at getting the job done every year. Maybe it's their woodsmanship skills, maybe luck, maybe God has blessed them with a gift... Dunno but that's how I see it when someone says, A killers gonna kill.

Heed your own advice!! Complainers are always going to complain no matter what. This a a great site that makes it easy for you read what you want and pass up what you don't. There's no rule that you have to respond to anything, just that you be nice and treat each other with respect. God Bless.

Million dollar question? Is it more sporting for me to decoy them with a bow and shoot them at 10yds from a blind  or call without decoys and blast 'em at 40yds with a shotgun? Even with a blind and decoys I could shoot five gobblers with a gun for every one that gets into bow range.

LOL....not touching this one either..

This looks like the perfect place to drop a...

"What choke tube works best with a {fill in the blank} shotgun?"

This post is interesting to me.  I have never associated turkey hunting with killing.  Some of my most memorable hunts have ended without a bird being taken.  My goal each year is to enjoy the outdoors and hear just one more gobble. 

The things I enjoy are the blooming dogwoods that show white laced in crimson against the greening hardwoods.  The anticipation and excitement of getting my son in front of a strutting gobbler.  It is not easy to get a 9 year old to kill a NW Florida eastern tom.  I love the owls echoing in the distance, I stop in my tracks every time a woodpecker is disturbed and I listen in anticipation. 

And if I am lucky I will screw up and kill one or two each year. 

But make no mistake, turkey hunting is infinitely about more than killing the turkey.  It is the ultimate chess match against a willing and capable opponent. 

Everything is in the eye of the beholder and every perspective is different. I don't see it as complaining as much as a desire to make it better. Sure there is some complaining and grouching, but hey that is stress release. I would bet that most of the hunters here that are "Quote unquote complaining' are also the guys who donate to wildlife funds, manage properties for wildlife, are advocates with wildlife agencies and have helped many a greenhorn along the pathway. They are the ones that show up when their friends need someone and they love the resource as much as life. Concern for someone or something you love will often lead to complaining about the things that jeopardize those things.... pure Killers generally aren't included in that group. so throw you rotten veggies and fruit and insults, I love my  turkeys and the habitat they live in, count me guilty enough to complain about what threatens them. I am unapologetic for that love.

I say that I will stop using my decoys and blind when everyone gives up their shotguns, for the challenge of course.

not telling a tall tale, but years ago my buddy and I had a contest to see who could catch one by hand...I'm not even saying if we were successful .....cough cough spitting out feathers

"What choke tube works best with a {fill in the blank} shotgun?"

you have to specify what type of shot you plan on shooting or we're not going to be able to help you out with this

I see what the OP is saying, and I agree with points from others as well. No, it is not just about killing obviously. My love for chasing turkeys is waaay deeper than just shooting a bird. However, Im not out there to only watch the sunrise and see the dogwoods bloom, either. The end to the means is harvesting a bird. Thay being said, the hunting culture today is what it is. Its not going to change by crying about the good ole days. I wish that I could have seen the good ole days. I was born too late. Therefore, Im going to make the best of it, and make my days the good ole days. Im going to get up at 3am to get to the spot first, because I know its pressured. Im going to have to hunt non gobbling turkeys a little different. Im going to have to deak with a ridiculous number of hunters, and spend more hours scouting and patterning birds, and finding unpressured areas, and work harder to get to them. Sometimes I use decoys. Sometimes I dont. I really like custom pot calls. I have a few woodhaven mouth calls. I really like Original Bottomland, but Ive killed a pile of em wearing Realtree Hardwoods HD. I dont hunt with TSS and I use a more open choke, because i like to have them close, but Im not against TSS either. My families 250 acres used to be crawling with birds, until they clear cut it. None of these things are going to stop me. If anything, my woodsmanship has been refined, like gold in a fire. I can be jealous of all the hunters now a days, or I can do what I need to do to make hunting an enjoyable experience.
