I hunted Spring Gobbler when it first opened years back... I went hunting with my friend and his uncle.. We split up and went our separate ways to call... When I called that uncle in and he was stalking me like I was the turkey...I kind of made me put turkey hunting on the back burner To this day.....I have never killed a wild turkey but have called them in while predator hunting for coyotes.. I do know how to use all the turkey calls too... It just something I shied away from because of the shock of near being killed by my friends uncle..I know now law have been changed that you can't stalk turkey if you hear them calling in the distance... I have also know two people that have been shot dead when hunting turkeys by other hunters.. One a classmate of mine that graduated with me from high school...Guy just never seemed to be a real outdoorsmen in school either.. Made me think..Did he just go hunting for turkey on a whim and some poor soul shot him... See the people that do shoot the people... They to are a victim to now since they have to live the rest of their life thinking about how they killed someone..
Also...if I may suggest two things here... Never ever wear a red bandanna around your neck and never ever hunt turkey wearing blue jeans.. Please wear camo... Red of the bandanna and color of blue jeans when you hear the turkey yelping, purring, clucking cause a syndrome to come over other hunters to think? Wow I hear the turkey and wow there is the red and the blue color and bam...They just shot a turkey hunter by mistake.. So THINK about going after turkey sounds (Against the law first off) and if your hunting turkeys watch what pieces of (color) clothing you do wear out there....Don't go out and hunt turkey in the Spring wearing Red, Blue, and the Whites of your Eyes... You could end up shot for a gobbler by mistake.. then the fun begins for everyone.. The shooter, the shootee and the negative ripple effect of that action to all family members and loved ones..
