Wait, which one is Cat, and which one is Roost, and which one is Spuroke: ?
It's obvious which one is Cat, so if Roost is driving I must be the one in the middle looking like he ate Krystal at 3AM and needs to find a rest area quickly! :tu:

At least you did learn what blabbering on the internet can do to a hunting spot. :stir:

It's a joke. Lighten up. I really don't care if you take me seriously or not. Everyone here just wants to help you but in typical 20 year old fashion you know everything and no one can convince you different. I do understand. I can remember when I was 20. I knew everything and my head was as hard as concrete. You'll mature out of it. 25 years later I can tell you things are so much simpler if you listen to those that have "been there, done that". You and I have had our disagreements but if you won't listen to Andy S. you are beyond help. He has never said a cross word to anyone here and is as helpful as they come. Not to mention more knowledgeable than most.

Because he knows it a higher percentage shot but for some reason he is trying defend a bad decision by his partner. If my memory serves me well these two go on a bushwhacking rampage every year. They will learn but hopefully not too many birds will be injured before they figure it out.

I finally took a look at the video to see what the fussin' and'a fightin' was all about. Personally, I've lost count of how many strutters I've killed...just exactly like in the video. Seems like if a bird is sideways a greater portion of his head can certainly be obscured by feathers but head-on...neck, wattles, noggin' like it was in the video?
Head and neck periscoped all the way up is likely a higher percentage shot but (at least to me) doesn't seem like head-on strutting is exactly a low percentage shot. Just one hunter's opinion, but I'll flat wear a turkey's face out if he's head-on to me like that.

no sir I never considered a full strut shot to be low percentage, I always avoided it because of shot in the breast and on the back (if plucking the whole bird). And I don't know what shooting rampage...we each only killed 1 bird out here last year and were separately. I've called in some big big birds over there that were shot with their head up.Roost 1":3dxiazcn said:

This seems a little overblown. Is an upright head a better shot than a strut position head? Of course. But is a straight on strutting turkey at reasonable range a low percentage shot? Nope. I try to avoid them, but mainly for meat preservation. A 20 yard shot is a much higher percent than a 35 yard shot when bow hunting, but if your comfortable with equipment and ability at 35, and a deer stops in an opening at 35, you let it fly.

I watched the video expecting something I could latch onto, but honestly I've busted a bunch in that exact position and haven't lost one of them yet. Is it the best angle? No, but I'm not bothered by that much. However, I don't care much for bushwhacking birds.

ha I figured you wouldn't care for the hunt itself if you saw it. Heck that's the main reason I didn't shoot him myself. But the way this past weekend and most of the season has gone, I'm ready to blast the next tom I have in range, they've been messing with my head. I did find 5 jakes this evening but still don't want to shoot a jake...Setterman":lx4xzbnc said:

Congrats Cat on the video and DEAD TURKEY!!!!!!!
A drop dead turkey is a drop dead turkey. What is everyone arguing about?
With today's ammo and chokes, a 35 yard shot on a full strut turkey facing directly at you is as guaranteed as a 35 yard shot with a turkeys head stretched out. If you took both shots 10 times, your margin of error would probably be the same.
