Re: Reaping
That's purdy much my thoughts GobbleNut, I don't "Fan" or "Reap" turkeys but if somebody wants to do it and it is legal then let them have at it. As far as TSS I use it but I don't use it for the purpose of killing a bird at 70 or 80 yards, I use it because I get awesome, dense patterns at 35 to 50 yards and I feel it gives me a extreme edge over using lead shot at those ranges. Don't get me wrong, I have killed a pile of birds with lead and I won't condemn anybody for shooting it but I just want to shoot the best shell I can and in my personal experiences TSS loads is that shell.
Re: Reaping
I personally think it is good to debate the products and the methods every year on forums and face book. Just because we are mostly well seasoned Gobbler hunters on here doesn't mean these issues and debates don't help newer hunters formulate their own hunting opinions and skills and methods. I think this is a good thing.
This kind of thing happens on every forum. Same old questions come up and the regulars get irritated.
the difference on Gobbler Nation is we embrace it. Not like Old Gobbler where you are immediately banned.

Re: Reaping
I'm damn paranoid about decoy placement, even when hunting on my own farm, since I've had my decoy shot twice, both times on public land. I killed a mid-field strutter years ago in Georgia by moving a Montana decoy of a gobbler in full strut until the strutter took notice and walked into shooting range, but was even uneasy doing that. I guess I'm too old, too smart, too scared, too cautious, and a much better turkey caller and hunter than I was years ago, and personally would rather call gobblers to the gun as opposed to taking the gun to the gobbler. As far as being "banned" from forums for expressing opinions contrary to the views of the moderators/owners, I would digress to an incident in my younger years when I was ESCORTED from a drinking establishment (probably with just cause) and commented to the management, "Hell, I've been thrown out of better classier bars than this!"

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Well dang ban this!!!
Re: Reaping
I noticed I am not on the specific ban list. Apparently, everybody realizes I am such a nice guy and never piss anybody off or start anything controversial. I will do what I can to start enough trouble to make that list in the future.
