If I yelped a few times and he flew up in a tree looking for me he wouldn't be there very long.
I aint been doing this for 40 years, but I know when a turkey is looking for me. Nothing about self worth, more about killing the turkey im hunting.
Man yall make this seem complicated. Hunt turkey= Me shooting turkey if I can.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I still ain't heard an answer to whats the difference in shooting a bird at 30 yards with a rifle or with a shotgun....besides the legality thingy here in Bama..... Besides the legality thing not a difference. Dead bird @ 30 yards Was you going somewhere with this, this is fun.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I don't think anybody cares to answer such a stupid question which is why you haven't gotten an answer. There's just something about taking a turkey hunting ethics lesson from a guy that whacked a bunch of big deer inside a high fence and brags about them accordingly that just doesn't sit well with me, but I'm kinda strange like that.  you might notice ass hat that I haven't made any judgements on rifles and such, just asked questions. like I need advise from a newbie turkey hunter that thinks he has it figgered out after a couple of years. Laughable. LMAO! Jughead (ass hat) you've done went and pissed Troy off!

Asshead, you must of grown a pussy, cause you argue just like a girl. Can't answer the question so you just change the subject and make accusations??? Pissant girl stuff. Post pics of the "bunch of big deer (killed) inside a high fence and bragged on", I'll be waiting for you to PROVE that point. And don't say "everybody knows" because it won't wash.... just for the record I was just asking questions to get folks opinions, got some good ones till you got yer panties in a froth and made a fool of yourself. Girly boy.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

It's the most fun one can have with his clothes on in my humble opinion whether you kill one or not (most of the time not for me). I ain't got a thing to prove to anybody....just enjoying God's creation with no "legend in my own mind" image to try to uphold. You should try it friend....it's quite a blast.

Only answer I can come up with at thirty yards would be that it would be alot tougher to kill a turkey without tearing him all to pieces with a rifle than it would be a shotgun.
I'm still curious as to where this is going. Just shoot him in the head - no meat wasted and adds a little challenge, especially if you only use open sights. But really at 30 yards whether it is a rifle, shotgun, or bow you still end up with a dead turkey so it doesn't seem like it really makes that much of a difference.

Man yall make this seem complicated. Hunt turkey= Me shooting turkey if I can. You and I think alike,I'm not gonna sit there and question whether I called the bird up if he is standing within shooting range,he's fixin to get his head peppered and ride home with me,I get just as much satisfaction from a ten minute hunt as I do from hunting one for half the day,dead turkey is the end result,if I wanted to just go call one up and fool with him for a while I'd leave my gun at the house and take a camera

I still ain't heard an answer to whats the difference in shooting a bird at 30 yards with a rifle or with a shotgun....besides the legality thingy here in Bama..... Troy, I'll give it a shot - its way harder to kill one with a rifle at 30 yards than with a shotgun. I base that on experience; not mine, but one of the guys my dad hunted with back in the bad old days of the 60s when rifles were legal in AL. Everybody in his group carried a shotgun and a rifle, and if the turkey didn't get close enough for the shotgun, they used the rifle. Unethical? The thought never entered anyone's mind. Their goal was to kill turkeys, and they all did a pretty good job of it. The guy was walking to his listening spot before daylight one morning when a gobbler started putting at him. He spotted him in the tree against the open sky and shot him out with his shotgun. All he got was congrats from everyone. Some of you would know his name if I wrote it, so I won't. Anyway, this same guy got the bright idea that he would just hunt with the rifle alone, and forget lugging 2 guns around. After having several come in behind him, see him, and then have him miss as they were running off, he quietly went back to lugging 2 guns around. You got a lot better chance at a moving turkey at 30 yards with a shotgun. Since I didn't have a rifle, and didn't even have a decent shotgun, I was really glad when they outlawed the rifles; thought it gave me a better chance. Season #49 coming up for me if I live that long, and if a longbeard were to fly the Cahaba River and light in a tree 50 yds away, I'm a blasting him out with tss. Course, if he flies the Cahaba that would mean I called him over 2 miles. We need the season to hurry up and get here. Everybody's getting restless. This sounds like an OG thread. Good hunting to all!

Ammo price question got 10 pages... That has to be some sort of record. What was we talking about?
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Also, I've killed turkeys at 10 steps after 10 minutes of calling and I've killed turkeys at 50 steps after 4 hours...I can assure you the satisfaction of the killing one after 4 hours outdoes the satisfaction of the one killed after 10 minutes.
Wow, great point. I have yelped one time and had gobblers fly down and land nearly on top of me. Can't imagine how that was more of an accomplishment than getting one to cross a 400 yard field and shooting him at 50 yards. One of the birds I am most proud of I killed in what we call the middle field on our land. The first time that bird gobbled at me working a box call he was so far away I had to convince myself he was gobbling at me. It didn't seem possible. I eventually set up in a field corner on that bird and worked him for 3 hours before he walked into the range of the custom Nitros I was using that year. He must have gobbled 120 times but it was hell getting him to leave the little strut zone he was in. I have shot birds that were bigger and many way closer to me than that bird but none were more satisfying. Shot distence is far from the only factor that makes a turkey hunt meaningful and often it plays no part whatsoever.
