Quote from: silvestris on May 02, 2016, 05:18:17 PMOne can choose to hunt turkeys anyway one wants, but calling the bird to the gun unaided by any visual device is the true essence of turkey hunting and has been so since the 1800s, and probably before. What puzzles me is why the "modern turkey hunter" wastes his money on callers.
Quote from: TRG3 on May 02, 2016, 05:34:54 PMWhile there are certainly those who can imitate a hen, are successful in bringing in gobblers by doing so, and an outdoor industry that has been built on this aspect, it's been explained to me that calling a gobbler by sounding like a hen is against nature, i.e. it's the hen that goes to the gobbler rather than vise versa. With this in mind, I rely on sounding like a gobbler, challenging the peck order that has been established over several weeks of fighting among the toms. This is a natural happening and will often bring in gobblers looking to challenge the intruder. Fighting purrs should do the same thing. In nothing else that I hunt, ranging from squirrels to deer to waterfowl to predators, do I try to go against nature by the calling that I do. This seems to be a common sense approach to calling turkeys.
Quote from: hobbes on May 02, 2016, 07:26:32 PMYou state that calling a bird to the gun is the essence of turkey hunting. I must be missing something in your last statement. "....waste money on callers"?
Quote from: drenalinld on May 02, 2016, 10:07:51 PMI think he is suggesting, if you use blinds and flocks of decoys, you are decoying the birds in and not calling them in so the money for calls was wasted just set your blind and decoys in an area turkeys use and shoot them when they come. Maybe I missed it?
Quote from: Phillipshunt on May 03, 2016, 05:17:20 AMno doubt Charles Jordan was a master Turkey hunter and he probably killed several hundred Gobblers,he also used a rifle and was able to kill the 60-80 yard gobbler and also shot them from the roost so he was no saint.
