Wasn't my argument but Phil, I think turkeys cross the field to the silo just like seals go in the water to eat! It's risky but hey, gotta eat!
The whole shoot em off the roost thing, well not sure where I stand. It must be easier for some of you to walk under a rooster bird than it is here in Alabama. I have gotten close enough to see them but not in range, and that was too close. I hunted Texas once and their birds all roosters together, think it would be bad to shoot those birds. But here, I agree with Mojotex, if he flys up on a limb near me I'm shooting. I like calling and doing all that good springtime hunting, but turkey hunting is about making the best of the situation at hand, and being able to pull it off. I've also never had one do that, but hard to imagine me not shooting if he did.
