Just wonderin'...........

Is it the norm nowadays to hunt turkeys from a stand-up blind overlookin' a food source with a shotgun? I'm not tryin' to minimize your success 'cause there's nothin' more excitin' than seein' a gobbler layin' flat of his back with his spurs flappin' in the wind, but, weren't these blinds designed for bow hunters?

Just sayin'.........

What???^

When you have two grown men, or a man and a child, you better have a blind or take your chances of watching him run off before getting into range. I like to "run & gun" sometimes putting in miles to get a bird, but some times if I have a bird pegged and he is hened up in a food plot for a few days, you can bet I will set up on him!!! If I'm by myself, I will go without the blind, but if I have a kid or client and feel the cover is too thin, I would use one!

Ain't that what the sport is all about? I used a blind like that once, but, there were three of us. One dude had a video camera and the other a bow.

I don't know what the norm is. I can only tell you what I do. I've been hunting this property for goin on 5 years now and have tried to Run and Gun it several times with minimal success. It's always been better to setup in a blind where u can get comfortable and wait for a bird that isn't hen'd up. Get him nice and fired up and then watch him put on a show. Of course a "true sportsman" sits on the ground and slays his turkeys. If it makes you feel any better I shot one that afternoon sitting on the ground in my vest. I didn't feel any more accomplished than the one from that morning. If it was legal I'd put a sack of corn down and hunt it. Good luck, Mr. King of the Spring.

No need to get all riled up. I think it was a legit question and one that was not intended to flame you. If you feel good doin' it...go for it.

I don't get mad at anything that's said on here because its the Internet. I know there's people on here who get infuriated about what other people say and they genuinely HATE those people. There's people on here who hate me I'm sure. But I don't take any of this seriously, so I find most of it funny. If you wanna slam everyone of my reports I couldn't care less, but you'll probably get some sarcasm in return.

Next time we find birds roosted next to a food plot we should just hunt the short pines on the other side of the property. Or a clearcut where there's sure to be some roosted! Isn't that part of the sport. Scout, locate birds, find where they're roosting, set up on them in the morning?

No, no, no. If you don't crawl through the weeds for 3 days Carlos Hathcock style, and shoot one within 10' with a slingshot, you're just not a real turkey hunter.

I've always wanted to turkey hunt i just don't even know where to begin. I was told that not even 50 specklebellies locked up working comes close to the feeling of calling in a gobbler and watching him strut.

Don't know about the geese, but, there are few sights (and sounds) that compare to that drum roll.
