If turkeys didn’t gobble would you hunt them?

I would still hunt them but it sure wouldnt be as exciting listening to the woods wake up and not hearing anything on roost. It would be like fall hunting, spot and stalk

I definitely would still hunt them. I've shot a'lot of birds that have came in silent and still have a great time. It would take some of the excitement out of it,but not enough to make me stop hunting them.

All I know is that I am glad they do. Love that spit and drum also.

I would, even if they stopped gobbling now.  But if they didn't gobble back when I got started, I probably wouldn't have gotten started.

If they stopped gobbling today now that I'm hooked, I would still hunt them.  However, when I was a newbie with no experience it was the gobbling that caught me!

  I would keep hunting them, but for me it wouldn't be near as exciting.

  I've always said that my idea of the perfect turkey hunt is one that....

takes a couple of hours of cat and mouse to play out
requires me to change my location/set up and calls multiple times
ends with a turkey that has a very severe sore throat from gobbling when my gun finally goes boom!

I'm old school and do love to hear them gobble, especially on the roost at daylight. I don't hear it as often but spittin-n-drumin is really something I love to hear as well.  I have killed several birds who came in and didn't say a word and if they quit talking all together, I'm so addicted, I would still hunt them and love doing it but to be honest probably not as much as when they were more vocal. I also like to hear a good hen cutting as well!

[MISSISSIPPI Double beard]

yes

[Chordeiles]

Probably.......they do taste good.

[Cut N Run]

As long as they spit & drum and don't change the way they taste, I'm still in.

If they stop gobbling, does that mean we could yell at them?  Because more than a few have p!$$ed me off.

I'd just pop them with a rifle and be done with it because they taste so good.  But I wouldn't go to all the effort I do if they didn't gobble.

[zsully]

I wouldn't hunt em if they didn't gobble. Thank the Lord they do!

[singlestrand]

Several of the birds I've killed didn't come in gobbling. Maybe even most of the birds I've killed didn't.  I know the first 3 birds I ever killed didn't come in gobbling, but that fourth bird did and it flat tore me up. Nothing like hearing them hammer when they're close. Now that you ask though, it kinda makes me wonder if I would've wanted to start hunting them if they didn't gobble.
