I invite you to go back to my post in reply to you (in the Drumming/Gobbling thread) and see thatI started it by saying that I "respectfully disagree". I subsequently apologized to you in the thread if my opinion that turkeys aren't easily heard drumming at 100 yards offended you in some way. I frankly don't see how my opinion about the matter should have any bearing on how others view or trust yours. I was under the impression thisis a board wherehunters are welcome tovoice differing opinions and share their experiences, and occasionally disagree about things, as long asthe discussionis conducted in a civil manner and ina spirit of mutual respect. If I am mistaken in that assumption than I stand corrected.

In my short time on the board I have tried to answer a variety of questions from hunters, manynew to the sport, in an effort to help them understand and enjoy turkey hunting. Message boards like this weren't around when I began years ago, and I learned to hunt turkeys from the school of hard knocks andthe lessonslearned frommaking every mistake in the book. If I can help someone avoid some of those mistakes and enjoy some success, then I am glad to do so. I also enjoy learning from others and have gained a great deal of insight since I joined the forum

If there is anything I have learned in hunting his grand bird it is that there is nothing set in stone or reliably predictible about its behavior.For this reason Iwelcome all opinions and experiences about turkey hunting, as I feel that it contributes to my overall knowledge about the sport and, hopefully, that helps make me a better hunter.

Respectfully,
