LMAO! What do you have to prove man? I don't understand it. I simply said rifles being allowed for spring turkey season would make that season more dangerous. Never said you take pot shots at decoys, just that with todays decoys, many people could easily mistake them for the real thing. Heck some people even use the real thing with mounted decoys.

Im sure you and your dad are safe ethical hunters, however, not everyone is like you. There are just enough unsafe hunters out there that would make me think twice before hiding in unspottable camo 20 yards behind my full strut decoy while some yahoo is prowling the woods with his .223. My personal opinion, but I would feel uneasy with my odds.

i'm fine with anyone who does it legally, I think thats great. I just said rifles entering the equation makes it more dangerous. PERIOD. There is no disputing this, rifles with no hunter orange = more of a hazard. Why do you think hunter orange is mandatory for rifle season? I'm sure every single deer hunter checks his shot too, right?
