In NC....we don't have a turkey season that runs concurrently with a deer season. Therefore.....there's no chance you could be deer hunting from your treestand and have a turkey come by and legally take it. We have (in select counties) a winter "either-sex" season.....but all deer seasons are "out" when this occurs.

So.....around "here"....it's taboo to hunt turkeys from a treestand. I didn't say people here were "right"....."above" anyone ....or any of the like. I said it was taboo. People "here" have the mindset that this accomplishment (the taking of a turkey) is somehow "lessened" since the hunter was: 1) likely not hunting turkey as his primary prey and 2) was in a treestand.

I don't have a stance. I think hitting a turkey with an arrow is a feat! I also see where the purists who think they should be taken from the ground could have their stance.

Baiting is legal in NC.....and there are those who feel that practice is taboo. I can understand that, too.

I didn't start this thread to debate ANY topics. I did so as to not hijack a thread that was already started. I'd just like to hear some of the things (regional, national, local) that people fell are "taboo" re: hunting. No explanations needed.....unless you want to. No rebuttals required, either.

This COULD be fun.....and funny.....to see how different we all are.

Thanks.
