When you refer to someone who uses dekes as phucking up the woods you’re saying they’re stupid
I’m sure everyone on this site started off knowing everything and made no mistakes while in the turkey woods Instead of backstabbing and bad mouthing folks who are learning….why don’t you take them under your wing and teach them the fine art of turkey hunting
I'll continue to let you put words in folks mouths. As to taking them under my wing, how bout you take em since you don't make any mistakes. I'm not gonna take em cuz i don't want em phucking up my hunt. If you’re only taking them to stop them from messing up your hunt then you’re missing the opportunity of educating a Hunter new to the sport and the satisfaction it brings to see them grow in the knowledge of the hunt Oh I’ve made plenty of mistakes and will continue to make mistakes because every bird is different and responds and reacts differently than the bird from yesterday I hope I’ve educated you a bit during this back and forth because I’ve certainly learned from you
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Bud I don’t mind telling folks where turkeys are (do it all the time) because I’m confident enough in my skills with or without dekes to kill a bird Send all the uneducated hunters my way and I’ll be glad to help them instead of Lie to them

I don’t remember anyone saying anything about agreeing with the dominant gobbler theory. I sure didn’t. It’s the amount of turkeys being killed. Has nothing to do with the “dominant” turkey. Well it is the basis and reason the Dept is using for the regulation changes we are discussing. And yes, it was mentioned in this thread a few times.

IMO and from my observation turkeys are dying from the usage of chicken litter as fertilzer. In our area we had a good flock. My neighbors and friends who are big production ag farmers used it on their land. The very next year we had ZERO turkeys and that year we found a dead gobbler with Avian pox. Sores all over his head. A poultry disease most common in chickens. But the fertilizer business is big bucks so..Dont look there..nothing to see. Cant be that.

A poultry disease most common in chickens. But the fertilizer business is big bucks so..Dont look there..nothing to see. Cant be that. I get that. I’d be for doing away with using raw chicken littler also. I’m not a farmer, or even close, but isn’t there a treatment it goes thru that “cooks” all the bad stuff out of it? But what about places that are far far away from any ag? I didn’t see anyone mention being for the dominant gobbler theory, but I think it’s bs too. I don’t think they know exactly what it is and we are all just making up theories. No decoys would save some, no doubt. No chicken litter I would imagine would save some, better timber management would make a HUGE difference in the majority of Alabama in my opinion. I’m sure there are others, but saying one thing would or wouldn’t help is just an opinion as of right now until it’s proved. I don’t think there’s one single thing that’s going to fix it, it has to be multiple things. Just so I understand correctly, do you want to outlaw using chicken litter for at least a few years to see if it helps? No more laws/rules, right? Just let it kill the turkeys off and hope it doesn’t get in the water and kill crappie too so we will have something to do in the springtime? Just sit back and do nothing. “Well I know what’s wrong with the world today”…..

So we change the regs based on one mans " Dominant Gobbler THEORY "? Webster definition of a THEORY: : an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true So we all should just blindly agree with the moronic Dominant Gobbler Theory? I guess the "not known or proven to be true doesnt mean a thing." Yeah, Dr Fauci had a theory too. Several of them. That masks stop the spread of COVID, that shutting down the country and locking down would stop the spread of COVID, that getting an experimental vaccine will stop the spread of COVID, that mandates were what was best for us all to stop the spread of COVID...and the list goes on and on. How has those "Theories" worked out? But like YOU said ,I guess we all just need to blindly agree with and follow all these "Experts" and their " Theories" So sit down shut up and get yer dam mask on! I for one have had enough of idiots with their silly arse Theories. Especially when they fly in the face of all known observations. But go ahead, go right along with them. But then dont complain about the ones YOU dont like ; like masks , lockdowns, mandates and vaccines. As from your applied logic we all just need to listen to these ONE arsehole and their silly theories and follow them blindly because the govt says so. So you better have your mask on when you leave your house today. It is for public safety for goodness sake! Pretty sure the state had a "theory" too that we all needed to kill as many does as possible to better the hunting and for the well being of the deer. Hows that worked out? People complaining about not having any deer because they listened to that theory and decimated their deer herd. Yea...the state and federal Govt has a steller record with their theories dont they. Whos the hypocrite now gobbler...hmmmm... Wow on the assumptions and misquotes. First, the hypocrite would be you. You seem to be fine with the government having made up and enacted old laws and regulations but apparently it is government overreach for them to enact new one, or at least one you don't like - that would be hypocrisy. Second, please show me where I said "I guess we all just need to blindly agree with and follow all these experts and their theories". Nowhere did I indicate that much less say it nor anything like it. Third, you apparently have no idea what my opinion of the Dominant Gobbler Theory is. Whether allowing decoys in the first 10 days or whatever, has no real relationship to the DGT. I never wanted the state to make decoys legal anyway - just my personal opinion. Fourth, you have no idea what my thoughts on Fauchi or Covid is yet you sling insults about how everyone is a liberal democrat if they don't disagree with restricting decoys (or, I am sure, any other firmly held and inaccurate beliefs you may have). Just to be clear, I disagree with masks and the vaccine, also think Fauchi sucks. I am highly skeptical of the DGT and I believe it will be proven wrong (yet I think Chamberlain is an excellent turkey researcher) and am trying to help raise funds for Auburn to do research which will DIRECTLY look at gobbler fertility - What are you doing besides whining, bitching, insulting and calling names like a pissed off 2 year old?
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

Lol. Dang gobbler I didn't mean to trigger you. Lighten up Francis. Well, I agree on all those same things. And I follow all game laws. But it certainly doesn't mean I can't voice my opinion on how stupid they are I already stated I don't use them much. . The only decoys I own are 15 year old Carry Lite hens, and an old Buck Wing hen. They don't look too realistic these days. But I remember taking my kid when he was young and the decoys kept him occupied and not bored. I was saying I am not for New Rules. I'm pretty sure we have enough . I've always liked you so I don't want to ruffle your feathers and enjoy when you post on here. Besides, what really pisses me off is the shorter season. Don't even get me going about that.
