GLS, I'll make a deal with you. You hunt your way, with your gun, and your equipment and technique, and I'll hunt my way with mine.[quote: John Roberts]

JR I agree completely. This thread is one of the most enjoyable that appears on this forum. No need to argue over which perfectly legal hunting methods are the most ethically acceptable...Geo

Fwiw, I remember well the early '50's when the scenario you described above was more common than not. When Primos, Mossy Oak, and Realtree turned turkey hunting into a spectator sport with their "look what you can do with all of our stuff" videos, the art became a game, regretfully.

I know many young guys who consistently killed 8, 10 or more gobblers year during the 80's, 90's and early 2000's, and now whine about not hearing or seeing as many. I have no sympathy for them, but plenty of animosity.

Couldn't agree more on all counts and say it better myself. Mills, lowcountry woods are as pretty as anywhere I've hunted with the added advantage of no mountain climbing. It's amazing how far advanced spring is already. Gil

The woods pictured are on public land. We live in a great country when such a beautiful property is available to the hunter of modest means.

Despite the arguing, you guys are getting me wound up. But to each their own.

Still a couple weeks before the season starts. Seeing as I only have a choice between 16's and 12's, all I can say about my gun choice is that it will be old and it will be a SxS that can handle the load. Have been debating with myself about decoys and having used them the last couple years, think I fall into the big PIA camp. They will be staying home this year. I like being safe but mobile.

I haven't posted a picture of a Spring gobbler yet because I can't seem to hem one up. My son John though has taken two and I decided to break down and post a picture of one he took last Saturday. He's the guy on the right. Nice spurs huh?...Geo

I am sure you are proud, George. I bet you enjoyed that more than if you had got one yourself. I know I look forward to when my boys are old enough to take a turkey

Mills, you will find that your sons are your best and truest hunting buddies. As I age and slow down they still make it a point to accompany me and take care of the heavy lifting. Of course it may be my wife just makes them do it...Geo

Spot on George.
I haven't shot a deer in years. Hunt pretty hard every year though.
It's all about time at the camp with my son. He even does the "harvesting" for me. smile
