Sure you can. Hunts should not be measured in success or failure. And the 2nd comment I also don't find true. Yes they are adamant and they believe there is a true way to hunt them to fully experience what it is but that doesn't assume it's the ONLY way. That claims that if you don't do it exactly how they do then you are doing it wrong which imo is not their point. Their point is more for the sport, tradition, experience, knowledge, and future of the species all wrapped into a method that takes all those into account.

Turkey hunting hits most that have done it for years and years much different than todays hunters. It wasn't as popular a thing to do and required a much different perspective vs the common deer hunting. Required you to really learn and study the species and majority of hunts never ended with success but that didn't really matter at the end of the day.

Just my 2cents based on a perspective a lot like guys such as setterman and others. I grew up hunting bama and decoys were always illegal so I had no choice but to learn how to hunt them without. That taught me so many valuable lessons
