I didn’t realize “deer hunting” turkeys was so frowned upon! ......... Me either……..especially coming from some of the same people who just argued in the deer baiting thread that folks should quit telling each other how they should hunt.

. I welcome the new hunters as should everyone else. We were all new to the game at one point and hunters numbers are going down every year and if we don't start bringing new people to the sport in a few years we are really going to be in trouble. I don't see that at all. License sales are no indication of hunter numbers. From what I've seen in the past 20 years, hunters keep increasing exponentially. Well U.S. Fish and Wildlife services would disagree hunters numbers are down 2.2 million from 2011. Good maybe a bunch more will quit too.

i agree that deer hunting turkeys aint as exciting. But i could say the same thing about deer hunters that dont run dogs. Its boring sitting there whether your waiting on a deer or turkey.

What they are saying is that waiting in a pop up blind over decoys in a greenfield isn't what turkey hunting is about. It takes the skill out of it and if turns it into a waiting game.
You ain't got to sit still. You ain't got to choose the right tree to set up on. You ain't got to be able to call good. You just put the decoys out in the open where they are visible and play on your phone until it's time to shoot a turkey

Well then I disagree with US fish and wildlife. Overall (across the USA) numbers might be down. But in Alabama, I can only wish that was true. I see an increase...not sure where they're getting their numbers

At least sitting in a blind takes patience. What if you want to go hunt in the afternoon and nothing is gobbling?? Can someone not prop up on the side of field and just hang out to see what happens?

I would rather dig a ditch with a toothpick. Than set in a blind to turkey hunt. That's not what's it's about. Lim hanger 1959 I gotta remember that line.

I don't think anyone was judging. Like myself, just saying it's not for them. If you've gotten the turkey disease, you don't even ponder the idea of sitting in a blind and waiting for one.

But since we're taking that route...How many turkeys have you actually killed that you didn't post to social media? Not sure exactly where you're going with that question, but I don't put my turkey pics on the web either. Not even on aldeer. I normally do not either. The way he asked how many I had actual killed came across as disparaging IMO so in turn I decided to ask him that...I might have taken it personal but I considered it to be personal. Obviously Austin posts a lot of his kill pics so that's what I was getting at. Whether he meant it ugly I don't know but that's how I perceived it at the time. Well, you have to consider that every time you attack people for wearing bottomland, being proud of public land birds, or whatever it may be, it can be taken personal as well. As to posting pictures, I enjoy sharing my kills with others. I post the ones that I don't have a reason not to post. Good luck the rest of the season.

I don't care how or where you hunt them , but patience has and will always be the most important quality for a turkey hunter to have. If it takes a blind, then so be it. It bothers me deer hunting out of a blind because I can't hear, no way I could personally turkey hunt in one.

A real turkey hunter never lets anyone know where they killed the bird. IMO
