I am bothered by this attitude as well.  In my opinion, the two most challenging turkeys I have every killed were birds I saw from a distance and was able to stalk up to and kill them. 

A lot of folks don't consider that real turkey hunting.

I have killed birds about every way you can, traditional locate/set up/call in, from a ground blind mid day just sitting and waiting, in the fall with a bow from my deer stand, and spot/stalk/belly crawl style. 

The two that I stalked were definetly the most challenging.  So I don't get the elitist attitude either.  Some people just think their way to do things is pure and they are closed minded to all other tactics, but the way I see it, any legal way to harvest your game is a good way.
