At the end of the day which situation would make you happier?

1. While Spring Gobbler hunting you kill a nice mature bird.

2. While Spring Gobbler hunting you come upon nice mature bird caught up in some old fencing and you set it free.

No doubt here, number 2!

[Greg Massey]

Number 1


The reason why not number 2 is the mature bird could already be dead from being hung up in the fence.

#2 both would be great.

Don't have to give it any thought #2

[GobbleNut]

Definitely would do a #2.  ...I would probably weight him and take beard and spur measurements for the contest...just in case I felt a need to give him a day or two to recover and then go back and try to get him "fair and square".

#1... While I would love the opportunity to see a mature bird in distress like that and set it free, that is not why I am out there. Gobblers and other animals get hung up and die like that all the time unfortunately, just seems to be part of a landscape with so many fences and so much trash. Hunting and killing one the right way, to me personally, is the most honorable way for one to go.

I'd choose number 2.It always feels good saving a bird or animal. I don't hunt big game,and I don't want to be associated with those rubes anyway. I go to archery these days,after 30 years of turkey hunting. I will still take the shotgun at times.Ive gotten good at it,pretty much self taught, although I did learn from some people, but they didn't know it.The biggest thing is, respect the eye sight and hearing of a turkey!!

You're absolutely right Mother nature is very cruel. It's never a Disney movie. But both would work for me. But I'd probably get spurred pretty bad doing it. Bubba

 LOL, either would result the same.
