RE: Spot and Stalk Turkeys? Is it ethical?
Ever since i've started turkey hunting, spot and stalk is the only way we have hunted them on rainy days and during the fall. On a rainy day, you can count on the gobblers being quiet around here and for sure they'll be in the fields. I shot my first bird on a true stalk, i crept to within 25 yards where i rolled the longest beared tom in that bachelor group. When we turkey hunt in the spring, we do alot of run n' gun, which is a form of stalking itself. How you can ban stalking turkeys is beyond me, as run n' gun is another form of this. i think if people go about it in a safe manner and are for sure whats beyond their target, stalking is 100% ethical. Besides, if someone is tresspassing and gets shot, they probably shouldnt have been there in the first place. the tresspasser brings it on themselves if they get shot.
