I was just cruising through and saw your bottom line. I am from Pa. and public land did not make a turkey hunter out of me. Something got to them in my area and now there are less turkey than deer on the public lands I hunt, which is hard to believe.
Anyway I agree, those guys on T.V. couldn't find their butt in the dark if they used both hands. There is a lot of people that don't hunt but think hunting is O.K., until they see those T.V. shows. The so called "hunting" they do on T.V. has caused more damage than good from a public image view.
