You stalk the turkeys.[8D]
Illegal in most places. Dangerous everywhere else.
J/W, how is stalking a turkey "dangerous/illegal"?
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.
Great reply!!!!
Gear,calling,and all that comes along with the sport/art of turkey hunting is fun stuff, but it starts with having a place to put all that "stuff"to work!Having a place to go that you have scouted out and has huntable birds will give you a realistic place to start"huntin turks"!Lot of places have birds,but come season are severely overhunted and can ruin alot of that preseason enthusiasm.A good piece of ground that possibly is on a road less traveled or even a piece of private ground is a good place to start class on understanding how to hunt wild turkeys.Maybe you know someone who's a seasoned hunter and who will let you tag along.Even a hunt with a good outfitter can teach a newbie even a novice alot about huntin turks.....Those of us who've hunted these birds for awhile are still to the day learning and open to what works in the turkey woods!!!Keep havin fun...Bob..
