Well the purpose of turkey huntin is to fool or call a gobbler to you not in all cases. There are some cases, where woodsmenship and stealth come into play. And not so much of the calling part. I have no problem with anyone slipping in on a stubborn tom or a silent one. Basically getting into position for a pass by/ ambush. Not a damn thing wrong with that. But taking a gobbler off the limb is no different than jackin a deer with a spotlight. Pure and out right laziness. Or the mr. Trophy hunter wannabe trying to make a name. Where is the satisfaction for one. And how are you suppose to learn the game doin that crap? I've been a turkey hunter for nearly 3 decades. And I can promise you I have had many gobblers roosted and knew the tree and limb they were on, in some cases. I love smoking turkeys like anyone else. But even if I had a bad season. It would be a cold day in hell before id take a longbeard that way. Those that do good luck prospering as a turkey hunter. Not hard to to shoot em off the limb. And why bother wearing Camo, buying turkey loads, or burning vacation if your Shootin em that way. Another don't let me catch ya in my properties I hunt. Do I feel strongly about this type of stuff? Yeah I do.
