guys, it's only a turkey, for crying out loud. in vt, it is legal to shoot one off the roost. haven't done, have a boss that did, i think he knew that i wasn't terribly impressed, but it was his moment of opportunity, so he took it. and by the way, stalking is way harder to do on a bird than to call them in, that's how i do it. sorry, i just don't have any respect for these things, i like to shoot them, but they are the dumbest creatures on the earth, if you ask me. know here is a twist to the question, i watched a couple of guys trying to sneak up on a flock, knew they were going to mess it up in the fall. so, i set up a few hundred yards away, sure enough they busted, and it sounded like world war three. i saw the whole show, not one bird fell. two flew down towards me where i was sitting, next to the pavement, across from posted land. i saw one hit the ground running, tried to find him, couldn't, but heard another above me, took it out of the tree and brought it home. now, how do you feel about the situation? by the way, the hunters went the direction of the main flock, so i wasn't stepping on their toes.
