I like the concept and the silhouette of the hunter showing reverence.  I, too, agree that the wording does not fit the silhouette, however.  I think something like "take a moment to give thanks",...or something similar,...would be more appropriate with the picture.  The reverence of the picture and the irreverence, if you will, of the wording just do not fit together.

It's a nice idea but as others have said the wording either needs a change or omitted.  The "shootem in the da face" quote is something that I think most ethical hunters don't like.  I know it is the aiming point for a turkey but I first seen that quote on ArcheryTalk years back by some in my opinion inmature members who were referring to deer hunting with a bow.
Good luck with your signs and keep the creativity flowing...

What's immature about "shoot em in da face" and what's unethical about it?

Is your implication that those who embrace such slogans have a disregard for the law? It's certainly a more abrasive phrase when overheard or seen by non-hunters but I don't see the necessity to always consider others sensitivities.

I'm aware that you're quite an accomplished turkey hunter but I associate with some straight killers who happen to love this term and use it regularly.

To each their own.
In bold print is my statement which refers to deer hunting and not turkey.  I sincerely hope you are not asking what is unethical about bow hunting deer and purposely trying to take a head shot on big game animals with archery equipment.  The original poster asked if one would consider this piece for a man cave and as you can see the majority of the responses agree "not with the present slogan".
I never once said anything about disrespect for the law but I do feel it's a disrespect to the big game animal being pursued. 
It is in my opinion simply a distasteful slogan that would never be on anything I own.  If your happy with it and want it in your man cave then so be it. ;)


Apologizing:  does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right. 
It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

I love that saying!! I say it every morning march 15-April 30 if I'm hunting with someone. Kinda like a "good luck!".

Without starting more debate and fully disclosing that I can have a twisted sense of humor, how about "Keep Calm and Shoot a turkey in the pecker"

Or if that is too much and keeping with the keep calm theme: "Keep Calm and Turkey Hunt On"

But to answer the question, yes.  I would put that in my man cave.

Genesis 27:3 - Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

Cool sign. Might not make my gameroom, but then again, it is cool. I love adding fun stuff to my cave!



I am going to bag my first Turkey this spring if it is the last thing I do!
