Everyone has their high opinion of what is unethical for turkey hunting and most hunters I know have gotten in the gray area when chasing a gobbler. List you top complaints about turkey hunters.

I missed that one. I know a member on here who shot one during youth season one time because the kid wouldn't shoot and then he bragged about it.

The real ones around here don’t use corn. It’s bird seed, or better yet, straight grain sorghum. Hard for green jeans to see, but the birds still find it.

That, and shooting over the limit is an issue here.

I’m ok with 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10.

In my younger days I was a trespassing son of a gun. I’m way too old to run now.

I think hunting early and shooting over what the population can stand would be my two biggest complaints.

I’ve never fanned a turkey but I would like to do it once just to try it.

I use to fan and have killed a bunch doing it, and I’ve scared the chit out of a bunch doing it. I no longer fool with it. I have no problem with belly crawling. Hunting out of season, on WMAs when they are closed, and way over limit would be biggest complaints. I’ve used cameras very little before I ever had cell cameras. There’s no cell service where I hunt in Alabama. I don’t know why anyone would want to shoot one off the roost.

One can only hope. Idk that we ever get the 10 days back at this point no matter what the studies prove. It's like anything with the State, once they take something away, they don't give it back.
They seem to always air on the side of "more expensive, more regulatory, more of a pain in the arse" in situations that could go either way
