Ill take a sack of three way scratch and a couple of decoys too, thank you

I hav taged out public WMA w out decoy - nobody gives a crap - if u killed every turkey w out a decoy - nobody is impressed - nobody
If u hunt fields r clear cuts - u May hav to change strategies - turkeys get hung up in wide open ground - unless u hunting some tame bird

I agree - for a kid- prob b good to hv - our hunters are shrinking in #

If u don’t want u r your kid to use one 👍

But nobody is impressed w decoy vs no - kill the freaking thing legally if u can - it ain’t a hero story

Hold on. So you think turkey hunters are shrinking in numbers? I wish that were true but it’s far from it.

No doubt. Maybe in other states, but ours are just growing from what I see. 15 years ago you could get all the property you wanted from deer hunters for little to nothing. Now, every club out there has at least a few. Most people laugh in your face if you even ask about PAYING to hunt turkeys.
And I don’t see anyone trying to be a hero. It just takes away from the sport to sit there on your phone until one spots your decoy from 500 and runs up there to flog it.

I got a headache just trying to read that chit. If someone can't spell you, they're probably not worth arguing with

I could care less about what Chuck Sykes says.

I talking about kids

Yea adults are growing the sport - not from kids though

Younger generation shrinking

Good post
Apparently some folks have never hunted field birds that won’t get even remotely close to the wood line but will hang up mid field and gobble at every call you make

One of my finest hunts was on a field bird that whipped me 3 times and it took a deke to bring him in….got this hunt on video too

You can quite often pattern a field Turkey. They will enter the field from the same spot....or fly from a tree out in the woods to a tree on the edge in the same location. Bushwhacking....Maybe....BUT....You have to be a Stealthy S.O.B. to pull it off without getting Busted.

If I was tasked with simply killing a bird, I’d take the one I could put my eyes on vs. the one in the woods 100% of the time.

Not to say a field bird is always easy, but on one that wont cooperate the field bird is like fish in a barrel vs one in the timber. But being able to see the reactions to calling makes it a lot easier.

I have used decoys on tough field birds in kansas, nebraska, oklahoma, and missouri. No calling just let them get curious. Kind of like call shy ducks.

That’ll preach!

Yes sir!

They may be headed in that direction

I wish they would do one r the other and I don’t care which

I wish they would outlaw turkey hunting without decoys

Them decoys just scare them around the scratch pile anyways 😎

Good Lawd..I cant make out a thing he said

Jeez a bunch of dems on here wanting to make anything they DONT LIKE illegal. If you dont like them..then dont use them. Thats what freedom gives us. The ability to make our own choices.

Why should you give a flying phuck about what others use or how they hunt? I say let people hunt how they want with both deer and turkeys. If they want to use decoys good for them. If they want to manage deer, good for them. If they want to shoot small bucks well good for them too. They want to just bow hunt? More power to you. Just gun hunt, the same thing.

A lot of yall need to stop worrying about what others do. They dont need to conform to how YOU like to hunt. This is exactly what is wrong with the whole freaking nation these days. A bunch of morons trying to make people do things the way they want as "they" know what is best for all of us.

Yall got way too much time on your hands. If you think its a good idea to limit how a dam kid can hunt or if he can use decoys because you dont like them then youre pretty dam selfish and short sighted.

By the way..the dems dont like GUNS and want us all to not use them. Some of you guys would fit right in with your attitudes, but how would you like that same logic applied to your firearms.

Yall need to step back and think. Youre either for Govt regulations and more rules or not. Most republicans say they arent but lord help ya if your kid wants to shoot a field gobbler.

Talk about hypocrites..SMDH!

They are giving the kids a weekend to hunt before the adults did you thank em for that? I dont think there should be a youth weekend or decoys but thats just me.

Again you dont sound like you are here4fun.
