Quote from: GobbleNut on February 04, 2024, 10:02:12 AMFrom all the comments (away from the actual topic), pretty much everybody has made some valid points...some more valid than others... ...but from my perspective, here's the deal...The current state of turkey hunting just follows the same path as many other aspects of our lives. There is this thing called the "Law of Unintended Consequences" that has this tendency to raise its ugly head all too often. The process of getting to that point generally follows the same path. Somebody has an idea to take advantage of a given set of conditions, and often associated with their passion (and possibly benefit themselves financially), acts on that idea, and over time it comes back to bite a lot of other folks, as well as themselves a lot of times, in the posterior. In the hunting world alone, there are a lot more examples of this than just turkey hunting. Picking a single element to blame it on is simply looking for a scapegoat. ...And choosing a scapegoat that got into the game decades after certain other individuals dislodged the first rock that initiated the landslide is questionable logic, at best. In another thread on a similar topic, I pointed out my own set of rocks that I sent down the hill. My guess is that there are few long-time turkey hunters here that have not contributed to the circumstances that currently exist in some way, shape, or form. The fact is that nobody anticipates that a single rock dislodged is going to gather enough momentum over time to result in a potential disaster downhill.As stated, there are examples of this all across pretty much every aspect of our lives, with perhaps the most glaring being the entire spectrum of what has happened as a result of the advent of the internet and media, in general, in all their facets. Bottom line is "we are where we are" and "it is what it is". Simply put, we can all complain about the state of the game at this point, but the reality is that all of us must adapt to the current conditions and alter our expectations (and actions) accordingly. The ones that don't will just end up getting to walk behind the horses in the parade...or step out of the marching band altogether. Now, as far as the quality of the calls in question and per the topic of the original post, I have no idea...but my guess is that, along with most other calls made today,...they will call turkeys just fine when put in the hands of someone that knows how to use them and knows what a turkey sounds like...and knows what to say, when to say it, and where to say it from.

Quote from: Greg Massey on February 05, 2024, 10:41:13 AMThe arrival of the cell phones and the mapping apps have been one of the biggest problems in the death of turkeys and public land ... IMO.... With this change public ground has and will never be the same again... Regardless of how much we want to complain about what has happened to our public land if you watch any of these YouTube people they just about all have a discount code for mapping apps ....
