doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Turkey season is almost upon us.

I really was just asking a question. I've seen posts in this thread that seemed to be saying it was no good, and others saying it's too good. If I really am a moron for using it, I need to know why.

Who defines ethical in turkey hunting ?

Some flip flopping romantic writing turkey hunter...that tries to imply we are part of a cult.

Or maybe a famous out'e door writer that struggles even playing a turkey call...if I was counting the turkeys he's most likely killed on my fingers and toes not sure if I'd have to take both my shoes off.

Or maybe it's Ammo companies trying to make a quick buck...(hope their plan doesn't back fire and they have to replace gun barrels).

The circle jErkers that think it takes X amount of pellets in a 10 inch circle to kill a turkey...and have become so obsessed with it that they'd almost load table salt to quench their habit.

Or could it be the dA'coy companies making a killing off TV watching turkey hunting wana bees...

Or is it the crAp house blind companies that cater to people that are scared to face a turkey on their terms....

Or is the hunter that knows a turkeys brain is no bigger than a pecan and that the playing field is easily tipped in the hunters favor....making the actual hunt less sporting.

If you shooting yO little fOe hunad n tin with fAiry dust makes you fell like more of a man go for it...

jOe, you are the one who called TSS users members of a cult.
You are the one calling everyone idiots, stupid and morons who don't toe your line about what gun and load to shoot.
Why do you worry so much about someone using 20 gauges and smaller if the results are the same as using a 2 oz. 3.5" load in a 12 ga.?
And there you go again with the "man" argument.
Was it the "manly" thing for you to send to Chris's employer his offer to meet you at the Southern and give you an opportunity to say to his face the things your wrote about him and others (Adam) in misfires? Where your trying to cost him his job because you led with your chin and were scared? That doesn't sound like the manly thing to have done. Perhaps you could have apologized and shut up. Maybe that would have been the "manly" thing to have done.

This is funny stuff, this thread. It�s a bit out there now though. I�m so confused now , not sure what to take turkey hunting or even if I should go??

Buzz, be careful how you do it. Your manhood is at stake. Gil

Titanium or steel? Putter or driver? Or just run them over in the cart!

Hey jOe....do you know what "Transference" is? It's the psychological tendency to ascribe to others, what we ourselves are thinking or doing. For example, liars often imagine others are liars to. People who cheat on their partners often imagine the partners are cheating. It helps the brain rationalize behavior or an aspect of ourselves that subconsciously we know isn't great.

Your continued efforts to label people as less than "manly" whatever that means, has me wondering whether you have some concerns about your own sense of manliness.

Or it could be that you are just misunderstood here. Perhaps you are a good guy that just doesn't have the best communication skills for an on-line forum. Maybe if we met one day, I'd discover you are a hell of a guy. Impossible to know. In the meantime, I'll just have to continue using your posts as the only way to judge who you are as a person. I sincerely hope the real you is a better man than the on-line you.

Buzz, take whatever you feel like that's legal. Call them in close and take the bird at 20 yards or less. Pretty sure you'll be in the clear with both sides in that case. LOL

I�m not much of a turkey hunter, but I�ve found the evening before the hunt, go out with a hooty owl call and they will gobble back giving away their roosting site. Then sneak there before daylight....at daylight it sounds like a B-52 landing right next to you....and then, Bang. Pretty easy peezie. Is that legal? Or am I cheating??

I can answer that question, don't go. If you have the option, it's better not to do it. I was raised so that it isn't an option for me. I have to turkey hunt for as long as I can, though I am getting closer to the day when my health won't allow me to continue.

But as long as I am still able to hunt, I want to be certain that when I pull the trigger I am going to kill the turkey, and kill him with one clean shot. There are few things in the woods as sad as a wounded turkey, and I don't want to be guilty of being the one who caused such a thing.

I have hunted them for 55 seasons and tried nearly all of the commonly used types of turkey ammo. I have found that the tungsten gives me the best chance to make a clean kill, so I will keep using it unless I discover a good reason not to use it. I really don't understand why anyone would call me a moron for that decision.
