I know one old timer who had to be at work early and could not hunt in the afternoons due to game laws.He was good at roosting birds in the afternoon and slipping in on them the next morning. This is actually pretty hard to do. This was his way of getting his 3 bird limit at the time. I know that this method is frowned upon but it was one way to put meat on the table. Baiting is another sore subject with me and it happens too often, even to the point of keeping birds on their property instead of yours.I hope you get one soon.I have read your comment a few times and I still do not understand what you are trying to say, and before I trash talk your way of thinking I just wanted you to explain yourself a little better. You said " I don't care for roost shooters either" But then you said "I know that this method is frowned upon but it was one way to put meat on the table." I'm sorry but I'm confused. It would be easier to go to the grocery store and buy some potted meat and crackers,,,,,,,,Its cheaper than shotgun shells and gas.

Quote from: TeocTom on March 18, 2012, 11:07:30 PMThis is getting heated Let me remind everyone that it was this very approach hunters used in the mid 1900's that almost made the wild turkey extinct. Sometimes what is ethical isn't necessarily what is lawful. As sportsmen we are constantly under scrutiny by anti-hunters, animal rights activist, and the many people who want to take guns away because they think that we are too stupid to have one. Let's not prove them right by our actions........If you can't call a turkey up....learn how. I am busting my butt every year to kill my first turkey, and when I finally get to haul one out on my back you better believe that I will have earned it.

A wise man once said, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression."You ever get the feeling you are being watched? In this case, it may be well founded.
