because you never know who is setup already on that bird. You might accidentally shoot at them or visa versa(in their general direction). Plus the tom your stalking could even be a decoy. with as many hunters out as there are today, if your not careful, you could end up in a tight situation. This is the main reasoning on why alot of states dont allow it. if you do it in one of the other states, just be really careful[&:]

plus, who would wanna neak up on a turk when it is so much fun calling him in to your feet. Thstd what turkey huntin is all about.
