I see nothing unethical about shooting a deer at 400 yards, I've prolly killed a dozen that far and never lost one out there. I know folks that shouldn't be shooting at deer over 50 yards away.
I find limbing an unwounded gobbler distasteful and unethical. Just the way I was raised.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Spring turkey hunting is a multitude of things. It's a reminder to be thankful to live in a Country where we can hunt any time our schedule allows. It's a time to be thankful that we hunt those old hardheaded easterns in the South. It's a time when a bird can get in your head and make you lose hours of sleep. It's a time when you see God's handiwork when a strutter comes slowly into range. It's a time when you just want to kill one more...even though you've hunted them over 32 springs.
Although I will hunt with my son some, it's a solo thing. It's not for everyone. It's not the circus you see on tv with field turkeys running to decoys. It's going in at dark, crossing beaver dams with cottonmouths falling into the water, to get to the right listening spot. It's getting as tight as you can, knowing the next step might bump him off the roost. It's making that 4 or 5 year old public land gobbler think you are the real thing. It's what you do when no one else' is looking....a test of your character. Ex. When that gobbler finally commits and you can't shoot or you will pepper multiple turkeys. It's that feeling of throwing him over the shoulder and thinking where can I do this tomorrow? It's the prayer to thank God for letting me do this one more time.....

I strongly disagree with the ANY LEGAL MEANS statement. Its legal to limb a gobbler but I think it is unethical. You can sit on a small greenfield and kill em as they walk by without ever calling. When I hunted Fl the first time the outfitter wanted me to close by a feeder but I made him take me to a part of the ranch that had no feeders, bait(as they did it) was legal but not my way of hunting. let me say this, legal means. I consider shooting one off the limb illegal. that being the roost. if one comes in on the ground and flies up into a tree around say 0800, I will shoot him and i have no problem with it. that being said I know others will strongly disagree with it but that's fine.
if i hadnt taken up hunting i might have became a juvenile delinquent or worst taken up GOLF
