Guest 257Roberts Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Belly crawling/stalking (a civil discussion) Well here in the great state of Mississippi there are no rules reguarding staking turkeys. I killed my first bird by belly crawling across a sage field for about 200 yrds. I guess i would use my own judgement. When hunting on public land the rules change. Very seldom do i hunt on public land and when i do i take extra precautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Belly crawling/stalking (a civil discussion) I personally don't see a prob. with it...not legal in PA...so I don't do it! We stalk deer, bear, etc...why not turkey's? Like most hunting...gotta use common sense, wouldn't do it in an unsafe area. I love the idea of calling and having him coming in gobbling and strutting...but it seems more times than not...they sneak in quiet. Although that is the challange (get 'em close) its not as exciting. Again, I say if its legal to do and thats the way you wish to hunt turkey's....go for it, I won't look down on any hunter who hunts within the law!

HuntnMa Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Belly crawling/stalking (a civil discussion) i wouldnt of gotten my swamp bird this year if i hadn't gi janed it.......he was close.....but kept circling me, gobbling the whole time......so i did what i had to do..and i got him.....i'd do ti again if i needed too... calling a bird in and talking to him is what i live for, lol...i dont think i'd be too keen on seeing one and sneaking up on him, but in a situation like what happened to me this year, i would do it again...he was hot, but he was also smart as a whip.....i had to be smarter, lol....... a gobbler yelling butt, butt, butt.......now that is funny........luckily it was so thick where i was and he didnt see me, but i would of been toast in an open field, lol......they'd be yellin' BIG BUTT .......
