Do You Call to Roadside Toms?

No calling to a bird before season

That's a no for me. I don't like educating birds, nor would I risk getting a turkey killed on the road. I don't see any good reason to call to them if you're not hunting them.

On the way home from a hunt there were 6-8 Toms harassing a group of hens on a piece of property that doesn't allow hunting. 

I stopped and ran through 5-6 calls to see what they responded to best.

Go figure, a cheap plastic slate call from Primos was the most responded to. 

I still carry it as a just in-case nothing else works.

No I don't call to roadside birds.... Not that I could because field birds are essentially extinct here. But to answer your question.... I don't harass wildlife ....if I'm not hunting the animal ... I leave it alone. And yes.... You can help it .

No,unless they were off limits to anyone hunting them!

I have never done this.  If I am not "on him" I don't call to him.  Not intended to say anything negative about anyone though.
