How to properly post a picture showing off your non-resident success.

Should would suck to be a local there, and have to hunt behind that sign next year.

So is it the general consensus of this board that it's not a legitimate hunt if the bird is killed on private land?

Been my contention for years.  The biggest spot burners are the state's themselves.

The info being out there was not a drop in the bucket compared to what social media pimping did at a rapid pace.

Doesn't matter as long as they have their entertainment!  Those that can do and those that can't watch....

How true! Back in the 1970's our Game and Fish Department put an article in their monthly magazine about spring gobbler hunting and named one very specific canyon as a hotspot. That canyon, which we had hunted up to that time, has never been the same since. To this day, there are more turkey-hunter camps in that canyon than anywhere else in the entire mountain range.

I get it. G&F thought they were being helpful to folks who might want to try spring gobbler hunting...which was a relatively new game at that time. They had no clue as to what the repercussions of that article would be...even fifty-plus years later. 

Of course, the problem has been exacerbated ten-fold over the years with other media sources, but state game agencies, despite their good intentions, definitely don't help matters.

Nice gobbler Sam...

The picture attached to my post is how you post pictures online.

FYI - anyone with photoshop or other photo editing software's can remove your red scribble there

[POk3s]

lol no. That is not how you do it...

Remain vague and have fun.

Now you've told them the state and the habitat type. Now anyone driving around looking for a place to hunt turkeys can recognize the sign and KNOW it's worth it to hunt there.

You forgot your ceegar.

Of course not it shouldn't be at least. Turkeys are Turkeys public or private. Turkeys dont even know the boundaries, they go back and forth between public and private all the time, they're terrible readers.

[Ihuntoldschool]

Yeah. And you dont need a study to know a turkeys being hunted by something 365 days and nights a year either.

Something is always trying to eat them. But they will certainly move quite a bit during Spring following their girlfriends and finding new ones when their hens quit breeding.

But if you know where they're moving to based on your studies you might be able to get there before those darned fan boys get your bird or get in your spot again especially since you said one of them was fat.

Turkeys definitely can learn boundaries lol.
