It is a great video,....except for the shooting part.  Definitely should have kept it "under wraps".

gotta love nebraska.

gotta love being able to kill 3 w/ one shot.  watching the floppage that ensues is a memorable experience in and of itself.

it's tough to carry that many out at once, though.  damn triceps get worn out pretty fast.

Have you got a rope attached to your "stuffer" so you can make him spin while the other gobblers are coming in? ???   :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

I've smacked 2 with one shot in TX a couple times, but usually let the others walk.  A mile back to the truck in the heat made me rethink the situation on one occassion :D

The fact that he got 3 in 1 shot just didn't impress me at all. Not a fan of killin just to be killin. Sorry, I guess seeing 3 beautiful birds flopping and the guys laughing about it at the end just turned me off to that video.

I do not consider killing three turkeys as anything special, to me it is not ethical. That is just my opinion.

Ya'll are just jealous and wish you could shoot 3 turkeys in one shot.  Why do you feel the need to criticize someone that made a heck of a shot?

Post by: savduck on June 20, 2011, 10:12:34 PM
Doesnt bother me in the least, its legal here in GA. I think they were laughing because of pure excitement and rush of shooting a turkey. I get the feeling they didnt purposely line up all three it just kinda happened. I dont think any of them could believe it happened.

I still get excited when hunting and laugh when ending a successful hunt with a hunting buddy. Guess I havent killed enough in 19 seasons  to get over the emotions ( or killing a jake every now and then)

I don't think jealously has anything to do with it. It's more along the lines of having respect for the game we hunt.  Most turkey hunters with any years under their belt, myself included, have had the opportunity to take two or more toms with one shot. Legal or not, I just don't believe it's the ethical thing to do. The rush we get when that ol gobbler approaches and pulling the trigger is all well and good, but the hunt is where memories are made. Why end your season with one shot?  JMHO

Did you not see the smilie at the end of his post?

I look at it like this, if it's legal, then its none of my business.  The laughing, yeah, people do that sometimes.  I understand wanting to set a good example and all, but if this was all legal, then it is no more than 3 clean kills.  Nothing wrong with clean kills.

Maybe he only had 1 day to hunt.   :newmascot:

Just curious for everyone that says you would only shoot one at a time.  Let's say 3 turkeys were legal to kill in a singal day and you only had 1 day to hunt.  It's the last hour of your 1 day hunt and the oppurtunity to kill all 3 presents itself.  What do you do?  Shoot one and be happy or kill as many as possible.

One for me.  I've killed three in one day on a couple of occasions but hours apart.  I've also killed one in Georgia and one in Alabama the same day several times, but I'm not pulling the trigger with three in my sights.  Just don't feel right to me.

Post by: TRKYHTR on June 21, 2011, 07:28:46 PM
I've killed 2 turkeys in 2 different states in 2 days, twice. I had the opportunity to kill multiple turkeys with 1 shot in Texas but didn't take it. I wanted to hunt more than 1 day. I've also had many opportunities to kill multiple turkeys here in CA but you can only kill 1 turkey a day here. It happened on Sunday of opening day here in CA this year. We had to let the turkeys walk because there was no way to shoot and not kill multiple turkeys. Joey killed the biggest gobbler an hour later. To each his own if it is legal where you hunt. If I only had 1 day to hunt and 3 tags in my pocket and it was legal to kill 3 with 1 shot. They are in trouble. JMO

;D  How about if you shoot 1 and another fly's out of sight 80 yards away and when you hit your call he gobbles. 20 minutes later he pops his head up 20 yards away.  Do you kill him?  Remember this is the only day you have to hunt and now your down to the last 30 min.

I see nothing at all improper about killing the second bird in this situation, especially if it's at the end of a hunt and you really want to shoot that bird.

I guess the real problem I have with the three-birds-with-one-shot thing, other than IMO it generally makes hunters look like indiscriminate game hogs, is the uncertainty of wounding one or more of the birds and having them get away.  There's no way that the guy that pulled the trigger knew he would cleanly kill all three of those birds, and therefore, he should never have pulled the trigger in that situation.  He made the conscious decision to pull the trigger and risk having wounded birds escape.  I find that distasteful, as well as irresponsible.

To each his own.  I have been to TX where this is legal and hunted with an outfitter and had opportunities to do the same thing but for me I like the anticipation and wondering, hoping, wanting for a gobbler to step away from the group for a clean shot.  If it doesn't happen then they have lived to be hunted another day.  When I was younger I would have done it in a heartbeat but not now, funny how time changes your thinking.  My 2 cents!

If I killed 3 in one shot and it was legal. There would be some major whooping and hollering and chest pounding. Sorry I would be stoked!! Call me a game hog. I'll take it as a compliment.

It would be a story and hunt never forgotten.

Nope, still the same hunt to me.  I can see where a lot of folks would fall into this category though.  I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just doesn't seem like the right thing for me to do personally. 

I'd have to move to another part of the property and try to find another bird.  If it's a small piece of property I'd go clean bird number one then come back for hunt number two.  Birds two and three would be fair game then.  But if I had another day to go they would be safe for the rest of the day.

A very good point, I'm surprised this hasn' been mentioned yet.  You must have learned that in one of those N"WTF" books or something.

But you've only got 30 minutes on the last day.... so you'd either have to pull the trigger or come back next year.


I'd take bird #1 to the house and tell #2 and 3 three thanks, see ya'll next year.

I love killing them as much as the next guy, maybe more.  But I have to feel I earned him, and in that situation I'd feel like I already had my reward for my efforts in bird #1.  I'm not saying there's anything wrong with killing #2, but under those circumstances it isn't for me.

I've killed three in one day, but they were a couple of hours apart and at a different part of the property or totally different property.

It's interesting to hear everyones comments on this subject and how certain senarios change ones thoughts (except Ronnie, but I expected that  ).  Bye the way I was just stirring the pot earlier with the whole jealous thing. That's why I had the smilie at the bottom of the post.

My thoughts on this subject changes myself under different scenarios.  Now days  If I have plenty of time to hunt I would only shoot one and then go on to find another.  In my younger years i shot doubles several times without hesitation, but always passed on triples mainly because the states I was hunting didn't allow it so it wasn't an option.  Honestly I couldn't imagine toting 3 out at one time (2 is a load).  Even with all that said my goal is to kill my limit in which ever state I'm hunting.  So when I'm down to the last hunt or my wife is telling me to come home and a chace to kill 2 presents itself and it's leagal I'll make the kill.
