I have a friend who told me about the way he hunts turkeys and then I saw this video which is exactly the way he does it with his own homemade rig. He has tremendous results. My buddy is a small frame guy and can make it work, I told him I would need a decoy the size of VW to hide behind. LOL

All I can say is pathetic..Even if it is  :deadhorse:
Genesis 1:26
   Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Well, I will never buy another thing that carries the Realtree brand.
"[T]he changing environment will someday be totally and irrevocably unsuitable for the wild turkey.  Unless mankind precedes the birds in extinction, we probably will not be hunting turkeys for too much longer."  Ken Morgan, "Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game

And most of them stink.


I know it is partly for the footage, buy why do so many of the guys using this method let the birds get so close?  For a lot of guns, a 25-30 yard shot is way easier than a 5 yard shot.  Maybe they all have cylinder chokes in when hunting like this?  ???

Agree with you range assessment, too close in those pictures. When you drop your decoy to raise your gun, the bird is off to the races I guess. And yes, they all stink. LOL

Yeah...definitely no reason to use a 40 yard gun in that instance.

That is a little harsh and shouldn't have been said

Selluwud

That's just wrong and evil. Great character exposure

Same here.  I couldn't watch more than a few seconds of the video.

Get out of turkey hunting and go shoot some fish in a barrel, the amount of skill required is equal either way.

"pet" turkey hunting at its finest. Pathetic. When I come across one of these idiots, laying face down, dead, with their face blown off, still clutching a turkey fan, I will take their gun and wallet, along with anything else of value on them. I figure anyone this stupid didn't deserve to have what I took anyway ;)


More people are shot by just calling than hunting this way. No matter how you hunt there is a risk of getting shot even if you wear orange. So I guess all of us that hunt no matter what the way we choose to are idiots and don't deserve what we got according to you.

Just because all of you who are against it doesn't like this way does NOT mean you get to control the way everyone else hunts. It is stupid for you all to talk about something you have never done like you know the everything about it. Why can't you people learn to live and let live. Mind your own business and let them mind theirs. All of you who do not even do it this way has a chance of being shot just by walking in the woods. I don't see people bashing calling or using decoys or walking bacause of the off chance that someone will get shot. The old man who was shot in Maryland sure as hell was not reaping and he was shot twice for just walking.

Bottom line is if you are worried about shooting a reaper it is time for you to go back and review firearms rules. Identify your target! I do not know a single hunter that could not identify a turkey from a decoy(even a stuffer) given a little bit of time to actually evaluate it especially at 40 and closer in an open field.

Time for all you guys to get off the almighty horse(you do not get to tell others what they can and can't do) and stop fighting other hunters just because you do not like the way they hunt. Imagine where we would be if hunters chose to fight antis and not fight each other. Hell the antis could just sit back and let us self-destruct with all the damn bashing I keep seeing from every form of hunting.
