Opinon on shot selection? (video)

[Premier Turkey Calls]

I saw this video today and in my opinion it gives turkey hunting a sour taste. Would you take this shot(3min mark)? Yes this is a reaping video no need to debate that. I'm just curious as to what you think about the shot. I see it as a rushed and shot just to kill a turkey. I'm sure some will say "no different than shooting any other bird." Just an opinion but I would only take a flying shot as a last resort on a wounded bird. I would not make it my first option with how tight turkey chokes pattern. What do you all think?

I think that was piss poor all the way around. Horrible shot selection and fired more shots at a single bird than i have ever imagined. I think he should have the camera shoved where the sun don't shine. No respect for the bird obviously.

I'd rather miss a shot I knew I could have made over making a shot I fully expected to miss

I think me and him are in it for different reasons.

[ddturkeyhunter]

Like said before hunting for different reasons, theres are to kill a turkey in anyway legal. It wasn't for the meat or the tail fan, that looked all shot up. I am sure it was a rush but you can get that rush when you hear them come in gobbling also, to each there own as long as it was legal.

[Tom Foolery]

Nope, I'm all for legal but that's ridiculous. 


If you can't make the shot then don't take the shot.

While we're being critical

The sounds that came out of his box call were also offensive to my ears

I will go out and make a statement,  and before I do so I am only saying it to save those of you the trouble and effort only to realize it -the same could be said of wanting to be anything, but it takes someone who has been doing if for a long time to make a assesment of the situation the type of person doing it and what type of effort and method they are using

turkey hunting , is not for everyone Some of the folks who try it discover it's not for them , others need someone to tap them on the shoulder as say "hey your doing it wrong " or "your being dangerous and this will end badly " etc...

We got alot of folks getting into hunting with zero clue , nobody showing them how to do , except some fool on cable TV , or youtube -that's what we got here

Also., I don't know what's up with all this spandex type hunting clothes , I look at it and I know mosquitos.would tear me up with it

But anyways ...just a matter of time before somebony gets a face of lead or a rifle bullet doing this garbage

Looks like another social media hunter to me. Doing it for the likes and the video

Wow.

To add to Shannon's post...  There are turkey hunters, and then there are those that go turkey hunting. These guys obviously just go turkey hunting. 

What's even more disturbing than the flushed pheasant style shot is the idea that they thought it was awesome. "Legal" or not, I think the whole thing was stupid... road hunting scanning fields, crawling with the fan, the shot, etc. Yep, I'm being judgemental.

And I also agree with TauntoHawk - those sounds were just hard on the ears!
