That really made me a badass turkey hunter didn’t it? Nope. Just made me complicit to murder because I’d say the odds of us killing a turkey that had already most likely seen us without a fan would have been almost zero.

Now think about how many people are hunting in Alabama and how many turkeys die exactly that way every year and tell me
again it has no effect on the population


I got you Brent, but like I said, I did it too a few times but with mixed success. And I dont like doing it either. I am just too old to go crawling around on my belly with a fan in front of me. It would give me a crick in my neck trying to look up lying there.

And Ive stated I dont even use decoys much as I have had more bad luck than good with them. But heck. I dont even carry a vest most days. I just wear one of those inflatable pads around my waist. A couple mouth calls in my pocket and a slate and striker in my cargo pockets. I dont like carrying much at all.

But I am not for making anything illegal that is not already is my argument.
