The whole idea of turkey hunting is deeper than just a pursuit or hobby. They like to read books and study not only hunting turkeys, but also the biology and vocalizations of the bird. They converse back and forth with others like them, enjoying each other's friendship and experience they bring to the table. These hunters do not always agree but they respect each other's view and think about it. They like to earn the turkeys they kill and sometimes willing to do what has to be done to kill one within the limits of legality and their personal standards. They do not try to push their standards on others but ask they are respected. They like to tinker with their guns and maybe load shells to help try to help with the anticipation of the season. They really do not get caught up in fan boy stuff or care about what camo is the fashionable thing but what will conceal them best in the areas they hunt. They do not try to be on any pro staff or want to be instafamous. When the season finally arrives they are out to use every tag they have available but mostly look forward to being out in creation and enjoying the most wonderful time of the year. They share their hunts with their fellows friends. They share the ups and downs of the season not taking any of it for granted because it is too short and soon will be over. There will be mornings they can barely open their eyes but the thought of not seeing the conversion from night to day scares them so they jump up and get ready. They get home and they are tired but their family is there and the role of husband/father is way more important than the role of turkey hunter so they make the switch with a sleepy smile. When the season is over it takes some time to accept it, but they will remember and cherish the memories while starting the whole thing over waiting on the next spring to come.....Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Quote from: shatcher on May 17, 2020, 01:08:21 PMThere are those who want nothing more than to kill turkeys, turkey killers. Then there are turkey hunters. Turkey killers are about the numbers and are more likely to trespass or crowd property lines!

Quote from: RaspyD on May 15, 2020, 06:24:08 PMThere are turkey hunters and people who hunt turkeys...turkey hunters can tell the difference less than a minute into a conversation.

Turkey killers are about the numbers and are more likely to trespass or crowd property lines!Sidetracking the thread just a bit...Curious as to what the phrase "crowd property lines" means exactly? There's a big difference to me in "trespassing" as opposed to utilizing every square inch of any property I might be confined to hunting. Now, I won't interfere if I know someone else is working a bird on an adjacent property, but I have no qualms whatsoever about calling a bird off of an adjacent property to a place where I can legally kill him,...have done that many times and will continue to do it. A quick course in wildlife law: wild turkeys (and other wildlife) are publicly-owned resources. Just because a gobbler is on someone's private property does not mean he is "owned" by that person. Unless I know someone is working a gobbler (in which case my personal ethic of not interfering with someone else's hunt is the overriding factor), I will "crowd property lines" all day long to get that gobbler to come across to where I can shoot him.
Quote from: shatcher on May 17, 2020, 03:48:54 PMWhen you buy a farm, pay property taxes on it, buy equipment and put the time and money into trying to improve the habitat for hunting, it does annoy me when someone hunts the fence line. Chances are that person hasn't put a dime into anything and just might shoot one through the fence. If he calls the bird over and kills it, there's not a thing I can do. I get that. However, I think the case in point here is that there are turkey killers and ethical turkey hunters. There used to be some decency in this country.
