Whose shot is it?

BOOM !!!!!!! Sorry Bud. He was asking for it.

Im with you. Whoever can pull the trigger the fastest.

We alternate on singles depending on who has the low kill count at that moment. If that person can't get a clear shot, the other gun has a green light to chop him down if the shot is presented. When that happens, there is no set "timeframe" for how long the bird is in range before the back-up gun is allowed to bark.  It's an instinctual decision made on situational awareness.

If pairs or triples come in, it's always understood that the gun on the left and right shoot birds on their respective sides.

I really only hunt with my brother and there is no discussion in these circumstances. We both know exactly what the other is thinking.

I usually hunt solo until I kill a couple every year...exception being if I get an invite to their place that I know to be a good spot. 

Either way I seem to be "lucky" when hunting with other people. We'll set up for them to shoot and that ol gobbler just seems to loop around them and give me the shot instead. Sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good I guess...

We set up parellel to each other and let the birds decide.

Exactly if Im setting on the right and the bird comes out in front of us but to the left side he is my bird, if it comes out to front right he is my  buddies bird. Just how we do it.

MINE!!! Unless I am hunting with a youngin.... The best time to kill a turkey is as soon as you see him, in range!!!

[redleg06]

I have a pretty simple philosophy. If you get a shot on a a long beard take it. If I get a shot on a long beard I will take it.

This is probably the best rule... I'd hate to miss out on an opportunity to kill one just because it's MY shot or HIS shot.   

I tell my partner the same thing...if you get the chance to kill him then do it, but I'll be doing the same thing. I only hunt with a few folks I know well so we arent racing to "out gun" each other and arent going to take a risky shot just to beat the other guy to the draw.

[BrowningGuy88]

The guys I hunt with have been hunting with me so long we don't have to wonder what the other will do or if they will race to shoot the bird. That is why I can have my when you get a shot take it philosophy.

If I take a newbie, I always let them shoot first and always tell them when to shoot. Then if another one hangs around I will clean up the double, but I play back-up firts and foremost!

If we are sittind side by side then it's right/right and left/left thing if he comes down the middle then who ever gets the 1st good shot.  Usualy though someone is more than willing to call and sits up 20-40 yards behind the shooter.

Last to shoot the previous season shoots second

agreed thats how me and my buddies decide

[catman529]

I usually hunt alone but when hunting with a buddy I guess it's whoever gets a shot first or who has a better shot at the bird... for example last spring me and a buddy called a bird out of the woods and we were sitting in a tree line in between two fields. He was facing the left field and I was facing the right. Well the bird came out of the woods into the left field so my buddy shot him. Worked out perfectly that time. Haven't got enough experience yet to decide who shoots when you are side by side and both ready to shoot the bird...

Our rule is first to get a good shot takes it.
