To kill a turkey if not I would just be a photographer, I understand the point of enjoying the woods and experience but some people don't have time or taking along their kid and might want this device to increase their odds in killing a Turkey and great way to keep a kid calm too by letting them control it, anyways isn't my preferred way to hunt but I don't judge.I respectfully disagree...As ethical sportsmen, we are (or should be) stewards of the sport. Make sure than hunting remains ethical, and that we correctly utilize the resource. Part of that involves education future generations of proper ethics and morals when taking them into the field with us.When my father and grandfather took me hunting, they took great care to encourage and teach ethics; not only with hunting, but life in general. It was always taught to me that there is more to hunting than killing something, and that the challenge and fun of hunting is far more satisfying when utilizing proper ethics.I take both my daughters fishing (3 and 5 years old), and I take my oldest daughter hunting with me. I take them on trips in which I know there will be some action, and when I know that I can entertain them in other ways. I would hope that most people enveloped in the hunting community would not take our child out simply to kill something irregardless of the means used (legal or not).When we take our kids hunting with the bottom line of killing something, I do not think we do them or the future generations of hunting any good at all... NOT at all..

Quote from: Cutt on April 06, 2016, 06:52:09 PMDecoys today are getting out of hand, what will be next? Mounting your shotgun to the remote unit riding up to a Tom and triggering a shot with your cell phone? Any decoy utilizing electronics should be banned in my opinion.
Quote from: NYlogbeards on April 06, 2016, 07:23:14 PMThink the military already came up with that. I seen on the Outdoor channel disabled vet hunter used a gun that is hooked up to a computer, pretty neat idea for a wounded vet but really feel for him though not being able to expierence shouldering the gun and taking the animal your self... Glad there are people giving our vets these opportunities.

Quote from: Happy on April 06, 2016, 07:28:58 PMI don't like the way things have been heading for several years now. In my opinion the kill has taken priority over the hunt. Personally the struggle is what makes the success sweet. Anyone can kill a turkey. There are a lot of people who have done that and never actually hunted. I would challenge people to think about this. If you knew that you would bust your rear end all season long and never kill a bird would you still do it?As hunters we owe it to quarry to give it a fair chance. Do do otherwise would be a huge dishonor. Unfortunately almost everyone today looks for the easiest way to get what they want and to heck with the details. This is saddening but I fear it is only going to get worse. We should be modeling ourselves as hunters and caretakers not bloodthirsty teenagers who just want to kill something. We are in the public eye, like it or not and I would hope what we are all chasing isn't just a bloody carcass and bragging rights to make us feel manly. What a person believes is their right. Just something to think about.
