Attention Hunters

[Crghss]

Yes, please careful out there.

How people don't realize when they hear turkey sounds from one spot for 10 minutes. It not a turkey.

Good reason to grow up and stop playing with dolls.

I pretty much only hunt public land. When ever I am walking I wear an orange hat. And I keep it in the back of my vest whenever I am setup in case I see an Elmer coming so I can grab it and wave it at him. In my opinion it is worth it from a safety perspective. Takes me about 3 seconds to take it off my head and put it in my vest.

Good idea on the orange hat. Maybe next years Old Gobbler fundraiser patch can have a blaze orange background?  People that hunt public might opt to wear it on their vest. It can be dangerous out there with trigger happy hunters lurking in the brush.....be safe, be sure....

Sounds like a real war on public ground in some areas. However I seldom hear of accidents on public ground. In fact it sounds like there is nothing but lunatics running around on public after reading some of these posts. Ten years as an EMT - Paramedic I responded to more accidents on private land - mostly tree stand accidents and 1-2 gunshot wounds not really hunting related. I just don't understand the hype as it seems to be mostly driven by afew isolated incidents. Just where are these hot spots so I know where to avoid.

This is why I don't use decoys. It puts a sight with the sound.

Agreed, accidents do not discriminate whether the land is public or private. Tragedies happen when people get complacent with gun safety. We can never let our guards down here.......

There have been a few comments that seemed to imply that perhaps Howie g could not perceive the difference between a decoy and a live turkey.  Having known the gentleman for several decades, I can assure all that he can tell the difference in all circumstances which is which.  He acquired his distaste for a decoy from the same man from whom I acquired my opinion, the late Great Ken Morgan.  It just ain't fitting.

Hunter orange works very well when walking or even sitting in a blind. Never had a turkey complain because he still gets shot!!!
