Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Re: turkey stalk It is always hard stalking a turkey where there is little cover or anything for that matter to break up your outline. Congratulations to your friend and many more to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Re: turkey stalk Why is stalking a turkey so unsafe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Re: turkey stalk fisherguy, No necesarily stalking a turkey is unsafe, it is unsafe to stalk towards turkey sounds. You could come up behind another hunter while he/she is calling and when he spins around the tree to have a look, both of you know that you will have to react fast (shoot). Plus both of you are in full camo and making sounds of the game you are hunting. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gitcha_some Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Re: turkey stalk well all of you can stop bickering about it....they were on secure private land and the turkey was completley visible......i have no sympathy for poachers and tresspassers....they should all be locked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Re: turkey stalk I don't think it's illegal in NY, DEC just prefers that you don't stalk turkeys because of that risk and you could get busted, ruining an exciting hunt.
