Right or wrong

[ShortSpurs]

We got our ways that we like to hunt and about 20% of the time, my ways work for me.

I never thought it was going to be easy, or I wouldn't enjoy it so much!

It's a fine sport ....  this turkey hunting.

Dudes...the BadonkaDeke is NOT only legal....but supremely ethical as well!!!!

Just cause it is legal does not make it right...

But to a large degree, the ethics involved with hunting are largely personal, and will vary from person to person...  My personal ethic code might not jive with the next person, but that does not necessarily make either of us wrong...

I believe that why we hunt plays largely into the personal ethics of how we hunt...  If I were hunting to put meat on the table to feed my family, my view of turkey hunting and success would likely differ vastly from my current views.

Currently I try not to be judgmental on anyone's hunting practices as long as they are legal, considerate to others, safe, and humane to the game being chased.

I have always enjoyed the act of calling birds in, whether it be waterfowl or turkeys...  Crawling through the woods on my belly with a decoy strapped to my gun to ambush a turkey has no appeal to me at all...  I really do not take issue with the practice though, except that I fear at some point, someone will be shot doing this.

To some it's turkey killing and some it's turkey hunting.

Hey, the product has a large loyal following.  I'm thinking of ordering a bunch of Badonkadeke T-shirts.

  Everyone needs to obey the local laws. In the same respect, everyone is responsible for their own actions. In my own personal case, I am very aware that another hunter could be anywhere. Everyone needs to look out for each other also. I have a responsibility to make it home every day for my family. If that means backing out on a gobbler that someone else is working then so be it. If I can't find a bird off the beaten path and get him fair and square, he wins. I cannot take a chance on hurting or even killing another person in a hunting accident. I knew a fine young guy who did kill someone in a deer hunting accident, not a reckless act, and he was never the same. I am a nervous Nellie in that respect. Good luck everyone and be safe. Al Baker
