RE: calling without using calls
SIMP Q: I would be curious to know if this could work on a boss gobbler.
VM A: i don't know yet, i did it once this fall after scattering a big group and got (2) 8"-10" beards but they weren't the lead toms by any means. that was with the same guy.
ristrutstopper Q: do physically have to have a turkey call on you to be legal though.
vm A: iknow you don't have to have a call. there are many ways to hunt a turkey, most of them arent by using a call (stalking, roost fly down/up, passing birds) in these situations a call isn't even needed.
