What I can't figure out are grown men jacking their rods over these youtube channels. I guess I hunt for purely personal reasons, and don't care to broadcast it all over social media. It’s just personal preference bud. I enjoy the shows because I might get to hunt once a week and live “vicariously” through people that get to do it more than me and capture it on film. Honestly, it sounds like you’re jacking your rod saying you know it all and can’t learn anything else, could do it better, and don’t want to share any of your “super duper” boar Tom killin secrets. But that’s just my opinion. You could not be further off base. I’m far from knowing it all. And don’t have any “super duper” secrets. I’m simply a guy who loves to turkey hunt and can’t stand the effects of social media on hunting. That makes more sense to me. I don’t like the way most hunting has gone either. Some of the guys mentioned above just do things like I do, so I enjoy watching it. I don’t watch anyone sitting on a field with decoy out and texting on their phone. I don’t do that, and don’t enjoy seeing it. I also don’t want my kids growing up hunting that way. It’s just not the same as back when.... I completely understand and agree

Jug, I know the trick. I yelped and tried to swing my gun on one this year and the stupid sling hung on my knee. After I spastically jerked at it for 5 seconds the gobbler left 🤦🏼♂️
I take the sling off when I sit down..... I can't say I do it every time, but I do it a lot. That sling flopping around loose is the biggest deterrent to movement you can have on your shotgun, and with all the movement it makes when trying to shoulder it would be the most obvious eye catcher for a turkey even if you were slow shouldering.

It always amazes me at the folks that like a loose sling. I can’t stand a loose sling. I changed over around 20 years ago and never had to worry about it since.

I just swing my gun around and shoot them. Just like a deer, a turkey will pause when they see movement. Yea that's not guaranteed. The last bird I heard on my farm, I called him up to 20 yards and had to move my gun maybe 3 inches to get on him. I thought I could move and kill him. Hes still flying.

Like Fred talking about the turkey not spooking when he says “kill him” in a normal voice...a good sharp “HEY ______________” (I’ll let you insert the adjective of your choice) has stopped every deer I’ve ever used it on.
Food for thought

I take the sling off when I sit down..... Always have too! First thing I do is take the sling off. A while back there was a big argument on one of the Facebook turkey hunting sites about taking your sling off when you sit down to a turkey. Couple goofballs talking about how stupid it was. Turns out most of the sling removers were Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, etc turkey hunters and the ones that thought it was stupid was mostly a bunch of Yankees that sit in tents and wear black clothes and shoot at turkeys over decoys.

I take my sling off deer hunting. Turkey hunting, I just trap it with my hand so that it’s tight to the gun. I do that more as a second nature anytime the gun is not on my shoulder. I do the same thing 99% of the time.

They are strange. I've had them dang near run over me and I've had them spook because I moved nothing more than my eyes when they were up close.
