Sign of the times...everyones cuttin cost and trying to make more $..Unacceptable to me when you have to cut an arm off to buy a box..And as far as making a poke at a bird at 60...what happend that we have to take that shot...I think it's because guys cant get a bird in beyond 40 anymore...Supposed to be an up close game.
Quote from: Longshanks on April 05, 2011, 11:25:31 PMShooting a turkey at 60 yds is not turkey hunting it's turkey shooting. Been turkey hunting for 37 years and the sport has changed and not for the better.There's allot of people out in the woods these days with a high tech gun sitting over a pile of corn who call themselves turkey hunters. its a disgrace..

I must have missed the vote, was Longshanks appointed too write the rule "Book of what is turkey hunting" It is this kind of stuff we don't need! You have NO right to judge anyone's way of hunting as long as it is within the law. The anti's use this stuff against us all. If you don't like the way someone hunts keep it to yourself or tell your wife. Do not put it in print. I have no right to say anything about the way you hunt, so Please don't take this wrong, we need to stick together or fall together. Marty
Quote from: Longshanks on April 06, 2011, 08:13:26 AM I will clarify.. My biggest frustration is the fact that it has become a widespread problem in the state i am from that people are illegally baiting turkeys..one of my local taxidermists has taken in a large number of turkeys..guess what percentage of these turkeys have corn in them..100 percent. I have also guided for allot of years and i have a number of guys that come in and take shots at 45+ believing that their high tech guns will easily shoot that far. It results in allot of missed turkeys. I have taught allot of kids how to turkey hunt and i am certainly not promoting or teaching these kids to see," just how far they can shoot at a turkey". I have taught them how to call, when to call, and where to set up: as to bring the turkey to them. Has resulted in some amazing turkey hunters. The way we hunt is the legacy we leave behind. Not sure which part of that upset you guys so much..the baiting issue or taking unethical shots..but the turkeys i see shot at less than 40yds away..regardless of how spectacular your gun is..seem to ride home in the back of the truck the majority of the time.

If I call in a old bird to 60 yards from 300 yards away and thats as close as he is coming and I have took the time to pattern my gun and know what it is capable of I will take the shot every time with complete confidence.

Quote from: Longshanks on April 06, 2011, 11:53:47 AMI'm not saying that you can't kill one at 60yds. My point is that you will lose some at that distance. I have seen it happen with the best gun/choke/shell combos. Shooting in a hunting situation is allot different than shooting off a rest in perfect conditions. I don't like to see turkeys crippled so rather than take a questionable shot I would let him walk. It's about respect for the wild turkey.
