Seems downright irresponsible to me

because something is legal doesnt make it right. Shooting a bird from a tree when he cant see in the dark is legal in TN (I think it still is unless that has changed) but dang sure not right or ethical.

one of the reasons Ive always hated the tag line "do what makes you happy if its legal". Do whats right by the animal you are hunting and do it ethically is what the tag line SHOULD be for turkey hunters.

No.

You gotta kill that gobbler and post and brag online about what a great hunter you are

It's very unethical and very irresponsible.Anyone who does this is bound to wound turkey's that's never found but die

Yep and its already happening.

Folks are desperate to kill something and prove they are a true turkey hunter.

No matter what it takes, legally of course.

I think there is an element on social media that getting their turkey isn't good enough. They also want to brag on their shooting/ equipment and add a long distance shot to their story.

I saw some blue Gabe guy on YouTube have a video like that, with a pile of views unfortunately. 410 at 65 yards or some crap

That's the one I was talking about

People are already shooting "long range" with tss

It's one of the reasons to use it?

Far superior to lead if you misjudge the distance

I thought that turkey was at 40 but really was 50….

Yeah I know the video is about 70

My good grief…
