RE: Taking a Tom off the roost-Ethical?
I can aleady see that there is many opinions on this matter but here is the big question, Legality aside. Is it the kill or the hunt that is most important? I posted a poem that my wife wrote me that sums up what Turkey hunting means to me. I know that I relish being in my hunting spot when the first gobble is heard. I enjoy the battle to get him to come to me instead of doing as nature has taught him, that the hen will come if called. Is it unethical? I guess it all just comes down to the individual hunter, is it the filling of the tag that is important or accomplishment and pride that comes with doing your homework and enjoying what most people take for granted.
Just my opinion.
