I wouldnt even think about hunting turkeys in the fall without a dog. Im glad PA finally allowed the use of dogs in the fall turkey season.The dogs really get in good on the turkeys on the break which makes them easier to call in for the most part.
You don't need dogs in the fall for turkey. I will question yourhunting skillsif you can't find a bird without a dog.
Pa is loaded with turkey. I do see some dogs getting whacked if they are chasing birds while another is on stand calling them in. I wouldn't think twice about giving the dog lead poison.Especially on private property.
this is why when i see truck where i hunt grouse, i go somewhere else.
i dont want to disturb someones turkey hunting..
BUT to shoot a dog of hunter, no, thats not right.
last year, a road hunter shot at my dog while he was hunting grouse with windows down.
i jumped out infront of his vehicle as he was leaving.
he said he thought it was black coyote.
i told him, if you would have hurt my dog,i would hate to tell you what ole sproul would have done to you.
he thenmouthed off and said he will do what he wants.
i found out later who he was and is on WELFARE.
I GAVE HIS NAME TO WCO ALSO AND YOU CAN BET IF HE STEPS WRONG WAY IN WOODS,I WILL HAVE HIM ARRESTED.
i understand where you are coming from, i dont agree on the dogs for turkeys as most are calling turkeys and dont want dog disturbing that.
i see many hunters using dogs now for turkeys and i see a lot of conflicts because of it,but no dog should ever be shot because you are mad, its not dogs fault,its rules the PGC is making.
