There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that

Tonight has been the actual scheduled premeire date even though the time slot has showed up for a couple weeks now. After tonight that will be the time slot for the show

Mike
Mike,
Why have such animosity towards other turkey hunters? Do you really feel that if someone does not pursue a Gobbler in the same manner as you that they are not doing it properly? There are more ways than one to turkey hunt, some prefer hunting the run-n-gun style with only a gun and a single call while others may carry a vest full of calls and or even decoys. While some may carry a bow vs a firearm and some may hunt a baited area where legal and yes some may hunt from a portable ground blind.
I have hunted and killed turkeys going on my 35th year now and have killed way more with a gun while hunting the run-n-gun method than any other. I have killed birds in every way listed excepted hunting over bait. Although I have not and will not hunt birds in this manner I will still not desecrate another who does where it is labeled legal.
Do you set up on every turkey you hunt by sitting in the wide open with your back up against a tree OR have you ever found yourself cutting some twigs and sticking them in the ground around you to break up your silhouette? Have you ever backed up into a bush or brush pile while setting up to use it for a natural ground blind?
If gun hunting I hardly ever use a decoy because I don't want to pack it. Does this make one more of a purist because no flock of decoys were used? I doubt it, more simply just didn't feel like packing them and seen no need for the choice of weapon that day.
If I am bowhunting I almost always have both decoys and a portable blind, do you have any idea of what physical and mental challenges it takes to pack this much equipment to many locations I or someone else may hunt? If you ever did it you may have a little different view. I have used run-n-gun tactics while even bow hunting and after you set-up everything for the 3rd or 4th time as you move on a bird you may have some appreciation for what is involved.
If hunting from a blind (especially with a bow) was as easy as apple pie I think the broadhead and arrow manufacturers would be selling more units than Federal, Hevi-Shot etc but at this time I am sure that is not the case.
I could strike another nerve with the "purist" of turkey hunters amongst us asking if they shoot modern shotguns with the special turkey chokes out there today and the newer developed Tungsten loads which together are allowing guys to consistently take turkeys at 50-60+ yards but wait---- those things are ok because you do it!
Sorry but unless your hunting with old worn out black mason shoes, bib overalls, brown checkered flannel shirt, a scratch box used on the stock of an old JC Higgins side by side with 2-3/4" #5s like my Uncle first did when I just got to tag along then I am not impressed with the egotistical views!
When in doubt,show up early. Think less. Feel more. Ask once. Give thanks often. Expect the best. Appreciate everything. Never give up. Make it fun. Lead. Invent. Regroup. Wink. Chill. Smile. And live as if your success was inevitable, and so it shall be.

My apologies to the OP of this thread as I did not mean to derail it by any means.. Good luck with your show and hope it is successful as the hunting community is small and the Turkey hunting community is even smaller.

Ok then. No holds barred. If its full of add after add after add, and full of views from in front of the camera and crap like that, you will hear from us.

I don't think he's putting down anybody's hunting style. It just won't make the show interesting enough for him to watch. I'm the same way with fishing shows.

I wasn't desecrating anyone. I just don't see the need to watch another turkey hunting show that is all about blinds and decoys.
You obviously have a problem with some of my thoughts that I project on some of these sights. That's fine.
The only thing about the whole situation that bothers me is that a big portion of the new generation of turkey hunters think that the blind/decoy tactics are the only way to kill turkeys. That is sad to me.

I watched episode 1 and thought man this is a cool show.. They showed Eddie doing that Grand Slam in 4 day contest and the final segment was Eddie showing how he built a mouth call with lead and condoms..

So I saw another episode the other day and it was an infomercial..

I don't think Mike desecrated anyone with his statement. He feels the same way about decoy's and blinds as you do bait, that's it. I've seen him say over and over on these forums that he couldn't care less how someone else hunts turkey's. But he finds deke's and blinds boring, and less challenging for him.

I'm going on my 46th year now and have also killed birds in every way listed. And to be honest I also found it boring and less challenging hunting with a decoy and or blind, even with a bow. Not desecrating anyone, just passing along another's view.

I have lost the desire to watch turkey hunting videos in the typical in the field with decoys manner. And it seems like they all are like that in recent years. I understand why they do that -- to sell decoys and get more footage of strutting gobblers -- but I just don't enjoy watching that. So I understand what Mike is saying, and I feel the same way. I don't care how folks hunt, but on turkey hunting sites where stuff like this is discussed, I don't mind sharing my perspective on such questions, and IMO, it's a lot more fun and exciting hunting them in the woods with no dekes. I think folks miss out on the essence of it if they decoy them in.

So, I think the comment by MKW is legitimate -- I too would be interested in watching the show if it was not an over-decoys hunt -- and since I've soured on watching turkey hunting TV lately due to all the dekes, I'd need someone to tell me it isn't like that before I'd be motivated to try watching it. Not knocking anyone or anything -- just stating my perspective on it.

So, I'd love to hear the answer to the question myself!

Honestly for me I kinda get tired of hearing the I don't like decoys, etc it takes away from the hunt, your cheating blah blah blah I think we all get it by now. Hunt the way you want but man quit trying to make us all feel unworthy or less hunters because we don't hunt in this somehow sacred way. And don't watch the guys show. Thankfully I love turkey hunting and anything I can get on it. I will watch the show if it has decoys, blinds whatever as long as they are chasing turkeys I'm in.

How can you honestly say that bowhunting a Gobbler is less challenging than with a gun? It's like saying that riding a bicycle cross country is easier than on a motorcycle or hammering a nail is easier with a hammer than an air nailer.
Perhaps I have read previous post and misconstrued... I think not... I have seen the post from a select few that are always desecrating others for the way they hunt. Below is a post made just last October on this very site titled "Pet Peeves"

It is what it is gentlemen, as I stated before "The hunting community is small and the turkey hunting community is even smaller." We all need to quit putting each other down, sit down enjoy a cold one and enjoy swapping turkey hunting stories. If I have misinterpreted anything than my apologies as I will buy the first round of drinks..

I am with you timbrhuntr.... I don't watch much of it but if I do I will take it for the entertainment value that it is.

What I said was "I also found it boring and less challenging hunting with a decoy and or blind, even with a bow." And I can honestly say it because I have done it, but won't do it again. If I do bow hunt turkeys it will be without a blind and decoys.

If people want to hunt with decoys and out of a blind more power to them. It doesn't effect me at all, so I couldn't care less. I just don't like it when someone calls out somebody by saying they desecrated others because they made a comment about not wanting to watch a show that has decoys and or blinds. Or because they let it be know they don't use either one.

Yep, that's an old quote of mine. I said it, I meant it, and I still feel exactly the same way. By the way, I'm entitled to my opinion, same as you.

But this thread was about a new turkey hunting show that I hoped/hope will be different than all the others out there.

I may agree with that except when it always seems to me that the people that make the I don't use a decoy or blind comments want to make it seem like it is somehow better to hunt their way. No it isn't. So if you don't use a blind , decoy etc I get it already but not using one doesn't make it better or worse like some would want you to believe.
