I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

I AGREE WITH THE MAJORITY. WHERE I HUNT THERE IS A LOT OF HUNTING PRESSURE. DONT NEED THEM ANY SMARTER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE!

I agree with Powduck, who really knows whats goin thru a toms mind. How many times does a tom naturally in the wild go to a hen and she not be there? happens all the time. I also do alot of filming before season and do my very best not to spook any bird (not that I havn't). My opinion is yes it will make birds more stubborn, but not imposible to call in, in season. The main reason birds get spooked is the first day when a million hunters hit the woods all at once calling. This to a gobbler is very overwhelming and something he is not used to hearing, thus making him very wary in which he already has instinctively bred into him.
I'm probly gonna get pounded by all you non believers but again this is only my opinion...lol

>>>> $50 fine for any member in our lease caught calling before the opener. Second offense results in the jacka** being kicked off the lease. We don't tolerate that kind of silliness.

It's illegal in Ky from March 1st 'till opening day, and I would raise all kinds of hell if the law were changed. I try very hard to be open-minded when it comes to hunting regulatons, equipment choices, or hunting tactics, but my opinion on this subject is absolutely set in stone.

Keep in mind that I hunt public land, or small farms where several others have permission to hunt. Never been in a patch of woods that I had sole permission to hunt.

If someone owns land or hunts where he/she has sole permission, then it's not such an issue. Nobody else should be hunting there anyway. Spooking the birds would not affect other hunter's chance of killing a tom.

I learned what little I know by preseason calling .It didn't seem to bother the birds that much.

WHEW!!!!!!! Tough crowd.....Turning out to be a good question....<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
