THAT REALLY REALLY CHAPS MY ASS!!!!! I have never got a bird yet , but i have enough respect for the birds to atleast give them fair chase....

That would be like shooting 06 while he was sleeping or sitting on the shi*ter!

He is a pathetic peice of trash , and deserves nothing less then DEATH!!! lol jk not that extreme , but i bet it made some of you chuckle , but in all seriousness he should have his license taken for a year or 2 until he can be a responsible person!

Wayne1 and trapper T- My comment about the 15 viewers were for the one that opened the post (according to the counter) and didn't care to express their views! If you were in the woods or not on the computer that day than it wasn't intended for you. And I'm sorry if you need a while to think over wheather or not he did anything wrong. If I put my foot in my mouth, than so be it! I'm not changing my opinion about the 15 hits and no comment about a poacher.

In the 7 states I've hunted in for turkeys, it's illegal to shoot a roosted bird! Maybe it is different in other states I don't know but if it were legal, I still wouldn't do it! I respect the challenge a gobbler offers us hunter each spring to just blast him off the limb.

In the past eight years, this was the first season I came back from WV with out taking a bird and nobody in camp took one either! they kicked our butts this year. On the last day of my hunt I had a gobbler 30 yards in front of me and 2 hens 75 yards behind me. Had a deer snort at me and shout the gobbler up and seal off my chances of getting that gobbler to pitch down to me. I could have blasted him at anytime that morning. Nobody in camp would have known if I shot him of the roost and I could have won the camp pool but I didn't because I'm a TURKEY HUNTER!

MK-M-GOBL = 7

WV GOBBLERS = 1

Thanks deadshot for looking into this matter!

NO problem MK, I was un aware of the other thread until now, I agree now that I've seen it, but some of those may not have payed attention to the other postings, and just wanting to post their scores? I'm not standing up for them just putting out another option.

As far as 06 is concerned, he probably used an '06 in his killing. My Dad this year hunted for the first time, and he made the joke of taking his .240 incase they across the canyon, even though I knew he was joking all the way I told him that if he so much as brought a rifle of any kind period, me and him would have problems! I love my Pop but I won't tolerate that kind of crap.

MK-M-GOBL, I don't know if I viewed the post without replying or not. Doesn't really matter. Who says I have to reply right away. Perhaps I view the MB while I'm doing other things around the house. I might plan to come back later and post. Or like Wayne said, maybe I want to think about what I want to say before I shoot my mouth off like a dumba$$. Maybe I wanted to research the game regs for MO and have my facts straight before I blast this guy with both barrels. Don't assume the people that viewed the posts without responding condone or approve what this guy did. You know what happens when you assume. Some of us even have lives outside of the MB. Perhaps since it all worked itself out through the channels, maybe we can play nice again.

RE: Question for team 9
 

I'm sorry if I offened anyone here and I'm glad to see the proper action was taken. The support of others was also pleasing to see. Now that's it over, like determined posted, I'm done replying as well on this issue. For those that are still out challenging the "King of Spring" GOOD LUCK! and to the ones that are done, I hope your season was filled with some great memories.

trapper T & WAYNE1 = Thank you both for the follow up! I was pissed at this issue and maybe I could have done it different (like a more direct subject title). Hope there's no hard feeling and see ya around the forum.
