***Yep, I don't know how the other member(s) got what they stated because the entire article is written from the writer's perspective that doing such or stalking/creeping up on a turkey are all asking for an accident to happen, which is true on anything other than a tightly controlled piece of private property. I don't think he should use the word "unethical" though just because it's a different way of hunting a turkey under controlled, safe conditions like I mentioned. In fact, I bet it would be a real hoot to deke a mature Tom into charging you or sneaking right up on him when there is no other way to get close. Nevertheless, I'll stay with calling and if I can't get one within range there is always another day to give it the old college try!
