When I started turkey hunting 48 years ago we didnt have any of the fancy crap yall use. We had No Camo. We wore Green CPO jackets and brown pants. Heck if you were lucky you got a hold of some OD Green Army clothes .
We didnt have production made fancy calls. No Fancy mouth calls and custom boxes, or glass calls. You had a chunk of raw slate, a dang corn cob striker you made on a wood lathe, a snuff can call with Saran Wrap , a Wing bone and if you were lucky you had a Lynch Fool Proof Box call.
We did not have fancy "Turkey Rounds" or special "Turkey Chokes". We had single shot 12 Gauges Break opens or "Sweet 16's" and you had to call turkeys within 30 yards to kill them with 6,7, or 8's. That is where running out and jumping on their necks came from, as half the time they werent neck broken, they were just stunned.
We certainly didnt have fancy handloaded TSS reaching out 60 to 70 yards.
We didnt have Burris Fast Fire red dot sights or any such stuff. Heck all we had was a front bead!
I know some of you old timers can relate.
We certainly did not have fancy arse turkey Vests, or Gobbler seats or "Blow up" Inflatable seats or stake up blinds. You stuck your calls in your pockets and went and sat on the bare ground leaning against a tree..
We didnt have decoys or blinds. But guess what? It doesnt make ANY of those things bad . But they all make it a heck of a lot easier to kill turkeys thats for sure. Guess what? All yall acting so superior use ALL that crap dont you? But wait! Yall are purists! You do it "Old School".
But I guess yall want to pick and choose what should be "Legal" based on what you personally use. Thats a crock a BS, Sorry to tell ya.
Thats called being a totally subjective person and not seeing things objectively. Pretty dam sad when Yall are for new regulations and more BS, especially ones that make it harder for a darn kid. But heck its aldeer. What can you expect but hyopocritical BS being spouted?
Guess what? I am for all those new things. I like camo, and vests, and calls , and my over 60 yr old butt likes a gobbler seat, and yeah Ill throw up a stake up blind in front of me, and yeah, I use an extra full choke and fancy turkey rounds.
Yep, and if it is raining Ill go into a pop up blind and still be able to hunt, and Yeah I might even throw a decoy or two out but to be honest I generally dont use or like them, but I like having the option. After all it is freaking America isnt it? Sorry to tell you, it is called innovation but yall dont get to pick and choose what innovations should or should not be used based on YOUR personal preferences of what you like. Pretty sad.
I guess some of yall better re register as democrats move your arses to Cali if you so much into the Govt regulating everything. Jeez
