If turkeys didn’t gobble would you hunt them?

[Planner]

I was reading another thread and it got me thinking... if turkey's didn't gobble, would I hunt them?? I cut my teeth in SC and now hunt in Texas where I'm very blessed to hunt the very vocal Rio. Part of what I love most is listening to their thunderous and contagious gobbles echo through the live oak lined dry creek beds. As they move about their routines their gobbles build the excitement of the hunt as we play the game.... absent that, I think it wouldn't be nearly as fun. What do you think?

Thankfully they do.. cause I'm just not sure that I would..

I know I have no interest in hunting the Oscellated because of that.

I do that now. No gobbling SOB's.

The fact that you hunted in SC makes you appreciate a bird that free gobbles.

I hear you. I do to. I love to hear them gobble as much as anyone. Gets my blood pumping. But when they are silent and I'm able to call them up its an unbelievable Adrenaline rush when I see that red head sneaking through the woods. Never know where he will come from so you can't have your gun already pointed at him. The game ain't over yet. Love it.

Don't believe I would.

Don't blaspheme.  I probably wouldn't either. I love that music

[Divenut2]

Yes Sir! Heck, half the toms I shot never made a sound. They just kinda snuck up on me

If they didn't gobble, perhaps, if they were still prone to being called in. If they didn't acknowledge a call then you'd be nothing more than a bushwhacker and I probably wouldn't bother.

If they stopped tomorrow I'd still hunt them but it would take some of the excitement out of it. Not sure I ever would have got into it if they didn't.

Just not as much probably

[bghunter777]

Yes, but probably with not nearly as much passion / additction

[TauntoHawk]

No I probably would not.

No.  And I wish they would quit so I could stop
