Thanks to the NWTF, and the Exploitation of the Wild Turkey in the name of restoration, (and Rob Kecks Paycheck!). All of your turkey spots are going to be crowded. Think about that the next time you watch your favorite hunting show on TV.
Go into any Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops, Cabella's, or what ever store in the spring, and what's on? Turkey movies, movies that tell all the secrets, all the tips ,and all the tricks to kill a willy old Gobbler!
There was a day, not that long ago, when a man had to figure out things for himself. He either took advise from old timers, or went out in the woods and learned about the habits of the Wild Turkey for himself, or better yet both! (That's what I did)
But now, all you have to do is watch the sellouts, and media whores sell their knowledge, and camouflage patterns, turkey calls, turkey vest, turkey stuff on the TV screen. Turkey hunting is nothing more than a video game in the minds of many hunters these days.
It makes me wanna chew Barbed wire, and spit out bad taste!!!
I shouldn't think about it. Because it makes my white a$$ sick!
To me, there is nothing more sacred than a Wild Turkey Gobbler. And these days, even the most majestic of birds is for sale. And he can be bought cheap, in any sporting goods store.
Im with you Benjamin Franklin. The Eagle is a poacher. The Majestic Wild Turkey should have been our National Bird. A bird we could be proud of.
