ORIGINAL: Simp

Never stalk a turkey.
GOOD POINT. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW IN SOME STATES.
I'VE DONE IT, BUT IT LEAVES A TINGLE UP YOUR SPINE WONDERING IF YOUR ALONE IN THE WOODS. I WOULD NEVER DO IT ON PUBLIC GROUND!

Nothin is more aggrivating and scary to me as a guide and hunter than when someone shows up at our hunting lodge with a gun they know nothing about.I cant tell you how many birds as well as other game I have watched get spooked as a result of someone not knowin there own personal firearm innot knowin how it operates.I have heard on to many occasions when it comes time to shoot"I cant get my safety off,"or it wont shoot"!!!I had an individual last year who decided to hunt with a friends gun and as it came time to shoot of which it didn't put the gun in her lap trying to figure it out to have it go off in the blind as she was messin with it!!Her gun was a case of being dirty and the gun wasn't completely engaging the shell in the chamber.Under pressure situations still learning how your gun operates can create hazardous situations as well as dirty guns too.Bottomline is know how they operate before you take to the field and then through the course of the season periodically check them for matenance and cleaning especially after fowl weather.Read here for some great firearm safety suggestions....

Always place your decoys at least20 yards in front of you. Not closer...

When setting up, always try to pick a tree that is wider than your shoulders.

Don't tresspass onto other property after a bird. Get tired of people stopping on the roads around where I hunt listening for a gobble and then going up in the woods after it even though they have no permission to be on the property.

try not to leave toilet paper hanging out of your pants and bend over that could give a new meaning to pain in the butt
