I agree there are some photos that are for social media and some that are for sharing with your buddies. I'm not one to cry about somebody's pics though. If you want to hold it by the neck, that's fine, it's a turkey and you hunted it and killed itAT Hiker":1td9096c said:

there is a bunch of young boys and girls that would think your statement is chicken sh#t for downing a bird they scouted for a month, then put out a blind, sat in the snow and freezing rain to kill a gobbler that finally worked in close enough for a shot to kill their first bird. You know life's not all about you and your ways, it's not Burger King turkey hunting you can't just have it your mystical all knowing way, you sir are the googan who will kill the sport for others with your diseased attitude towards others.Setterman":17ctcuu9 said:
Hahahahaha. So the people standing up for tradition and an attitude of hunting versus killing will kill the sport? The people who are bothered by the callous pictures holding birds by the neck with a mouth call in its beak are the problem? Condoning the nature of the new era is the problem. Making excuses for killers who have no desire to learn to hunt is the problem.knightrider":mfp9cmsg said:
If you want to get back to the basics why dont you find a stump, sit by it, yelp 3 times on a box call and wait for the turkeys to come with no camo, face mask, etc?Setterman":3g7nn73q said:
Piss poor? I took a 18 year old high school senior yesterday. He had killed 3 in his life all out of a blind and decoys. We had an epic hunt, birds gobbling all over us at daylight. Had a pair of strutters come by at 40 yards and I whispered to him they're too far, they were killable but not in my world. We got on another bird around 9 and it played the game perfectly and died at 25 yards after strutting all the way in. Afterwards he told me how happy he was and couldn't believe how much better that was than sitting in a blind.catman529":3vzi2g8o said:

I hunt with several guys that age and they wouldn't dare use a plastic turkey or blind. My dad is 71 and will still walk most in the ground. He doesn't hunt but if he did he wouldn't be sitting in a blind. If a person can sit in a blind they could easily sit in a gobbler lounger chair in the woods with nothing but a call. It's just another excuse.
The basics of turkey hunting for the modern hunter was a gun, call, camo, and tree. The old breed (if you read their books) was adamant about this. I grew up hunting turkeys in South Alabama where the sport started. None of those folks would stoop to decoys or blinds. Granted they were illegal but even now it's taboo in the old school turkey grounds. It came from deer hunters and duck hunters taking up the sport. Again it's all about filling tags not hunting.
I'm not unhappy for others success, and hope all enjoy their time outdoors.
Comparing country music now as a good thing is lauahble. I'm assuming you think Sam Hunt is awesome. I think it's trash. Maybe this explains things
well you have taken me by surprise, the way you talk on here, I was under the impression you hunt mostly alone and complain about other hunters all the time. Props to you for taking the kid on a real turkey hunt.Setterman":2vvnnhvt said:

You obviously read into things. #1 i never said the 70 year old was from this state and #2 i never said he had hunted turkeys his entire life. I said he was 70 and has to use a blind. Getting into a turkey lounger is much different than getting out of a chair. #3 i never said i liked new country music, i do not. I merely said it has changed, as an example of obvious things that have changed.
I am happy for your dad, sounds like he has aged well. Not everyone is that fortunate. So you are willing to keep people from turkey hunting if they have to use a blind for some reason or another? Way to unite sportsmen.
And you say the basics of turkey hunting for the modern hunter was a gun, a call, camo and a tree. Well there was a time camo was not around, there were no mouth calls, glass calls, tube calls, so you, as the modern hunter have changed the way people hunted turkeys. You are rationalizing it to fit what you want it to but exclude who you want it to.

If a hunter can sit in a blind then they can obviously get around good enough to hunt without. If they have the strength to set up a blind etc, explain to me why can't they hunt the same spot with out it?
It's a deer hunter mentality. Not a turkey hunter mentality.
