I bet the first hunters used any method they could to kill an animal. Probably why deer where nearly extinct and turkeys are finally getting a decent population. But I agree high ridge. If you don't hunt the way they do you're wrong. I'm ok with that.

Now where am I gonna setup my blind and dekes to kill that bearded hen.


Big or small, kill em all

The deer and turkeys were eliminated by the white man and market hunting.

We also don't have to hunt in order to support our families food needs. It's a supplemental way to provide food. If you have to hunt to support your family then you need to go get a job and stop hunting.

If you fail to understand why killing hens is bad, it might be time to do a little reading about turkey populations.

Populations are thriving where I hunt. Just wondering if they taste funny. As far as the deer and turkeys in the old days when they were close to extinction, how do you suppose they got the numbers so low? Any means necessary I'm sure.

Btw I have a job. No I don't depend on any of what I hunt to feed my family. It's what we prefer.

You keep saying they taste funny like its cute or something. Frankly, it just sounds idiotic.

Sure populations are thriving basically everywhere right now, but rather than live in the moment think about the future.

Some people aren't worried about the future Setterman. All they can think about is pulling the trigger and killing something. It's the bloodlust and overwhelming desire to kill by any means just to get a picture online that is destroying hunting.

I rarely post a picture of anything I kill because it's not good enough for people like you and setterman. And there's a lot of people that feel the same way.

We need to let a few anti hunters onto this forum so we have someone to argue with other than each other. I'm sick of seeing people talk each other down for not hunting the way they do. I don't care how good a hunter you are, that's a bad attitude to me. I'd much rather see all of us tearing apart some left wing anti with facts, that would be fun.

X1,000 man. Bad attitudes can ruin the tradition just as much if not more than shooting a freakin bearded hen.

 

[REN]

i actually don't think folks are talking "down" to some, just think some are taking it personally more then maybe they should

 

[Setterman]

Get over it, not everyone agrees with my style and that's perfectly okay with me. Why are some folks so sensitive that they can't handle someone genuinely not liking their style of doing something? That doesn't mean I'm talking down to you, just differing with your style

Why do you all even care? You could post your reasoning why you do what you do in an effort to sell us on the idea, but instead idiotic quips and talking points are all that are written.

I totally get why some hunters sit in blinds and use decoys, and for those it makes sense. For instance, folks with physical limitations, small tracts to hunt, or lack of skill as admitted by them.

Rather than get whiney state your reasoning, I'd actually be interested to hear why you choose to do what you do. I may offer an opinion or a suggestion which might shine some light on how it can be done differently and it might be more effective at the same time

My favorite thing when it comes to killing hens is hen killers claiming they taste the same, which is true. But if the hunters goal is to get some tasty meat why not pass up the egg layer and shoot the gobbler which is twice as much meat?

I love the line which Calder edited out, that he kills stuff just to spite people who don't agree with his style of hunting. That's mature, and really doing the right thing! Geez....

Like I said about opinions, they are like bholes, everyone has one. Some just like to show theirs more than others!

Hunt the way you want to hunt (legal of course) and don't waste your time worrying about what someone else thinks about it.

I think you missed the point, what I don't like is that nobody gets along here while we are all fellow turkey hunters who enjoy the outdoors and can't keep to ourselves about our preferred styles of hunting when we disagree with someone else's. Instead we create huge arguments about decoys, hen killing, my skill vs your skill, and yes, you do talk other people down regularly because you so strongly disagree with their methods. I know I am also very opinionated and will say things when I should be quiet, but dang man this thread has gone over the top and we have crap like this regularly. Just grab your shells, gun and calls and go stomp into the woods next time you get the chance, and enjoy the great outdoors.

I don't think believing in biology and facts is "bad attitudes". I also don't believe there's anything wrong with knowing where you stand and standing there. I do, however, believe that not having an opinion on anything outside of what the government tells you is right ("as long as it's legal I'm good with it") is spineless political correctness. I guess I'm a throwback to an earlier time when men were raised to be men. Men with their own thoughts outside what they are told to think. And not afraid to stand up for what they thought was right. This tolerance for anything and everything is what is destroying America. I don't see how someone can be tolerant of everything (as long as it's legal according to government bureaucrats) and be passionate about nothing.

For the record, he could have shot 3 hens Friday morning but I wouldn't let him because I was hoping the gobblers would eventually commit. He is 6 y/o by the way and I regret now not letting him shoot one of those hens and I already know how you feel about shooting hens spur

Is this Yuchi Refuge in Tennessee? Never mind I found it.

You have a Liberal mindset more than most folks on here with your " If you dont hunt like me it isnt right way attitude"....Liberals agree with everything unless it goes against their beliefs......

Yeah. I'm a real liberal. A Conservative Tea Party member that's a liberal. Good one. Apparently I was 100% right that you wouldn't understand any of this.

 

[Aquaholic]

I understand if some one wants to hunt the way they want to its their RIGHT....

 

[Aquaholic]

As long as they play by the rules who are you or anybody else to judge them and tell them it isnt the right way to hunt....

 

[Spurhunter]

I understand if some one wants to hunt the way they want to its their RIGHT....

And it's my RIGHT to disagree with anything I disagree with. Again, if you don't turkey hunt, why do you care either way? I guess you have nothing better to do than stir the pot in forums of no interest to you.

 

[Setterman]

I understand if some one wants to hunt the way they want to its their RIGHT....

And it's my right the same to not agree with the manner in which they hunt. It is also my right to voice my opinion.

I don't agree with fall turkey hunting, especially shooting hens. I don't agree with running dogs for deer. I don't agree with legalized baiting. I don't consider in line muzzleloaders primitive weapons. The list could go on and on.
Abortions, Being pink unicorn, Smoking weed, etc all are legal in many parts of this country. I do not agree with those things and will speak out against them.

Just because something is "legal" doesn't mean I have to find it ethical or like it, and I am certainly not going to roll over and shelf my personal beliefs to appease anyone.
