Other Hunting > Turkey Hunting
Is it legal to shoot two turkey's at once.

So calling in 2 toms at once and dumping them both would be like sleeping with 4 supermodels then right. ;)

Well said Intruder....in Washington Ive witnessed all of the turkey harvest issues. Watched two guys shoot out of a car at some jakes....witnessed guys trying to shoot them out of the tops of trees like they were pidgeons....Saw a father and his boy shooting at a flock of jakes in the air. You know theyll get back to camp or home and say what a rush it was when we called em in....LOL. Watched a guy try and shoot a big tom a day before the season while I was sitting across the draw scouting....I let him have it and If I had a cell phone.....a-hole ruined the spot for a bunch of guys. When I confronted him he said that it was his dad who shot because he thought he was lost.....Gooood one! How lame is that. When I first started turkey hunting all I watched were the shows produced in the midwest and the south of guys doing it the "right" way. Man, I was so excited to get out there and do it...and when it finally happened ie calling in a big tom....is was such a rush and it was everything that I hoped for. Hooked for life now. In my mind.....save the Jakes for the kids, otherwise leave em alone, it will make the hunting soooo much better for EVERYONE. :twocents:

I was going to put up a great story and pictures of the two turks that MuleySniper and I worked our tails off for. But I dont think I will since we are not youth, and according to the experts on her we should not shoot jakes. :dunno: Oh well we cant all be professionals. Buddies and I hunt for the time in the woods and the memories shared, Not the beard on the wall to brag about every day. Besides I am runnign out of room for long beards. ;)

No expert....do what ya want...just my opinion. Always like to see birds.
Intruder:
I have no issue w/ folks killin a Jakes. I'd gladly shake his hand and pat the guy on the back for callin in a Jake and whackin it at 20 yards as opposed to seein some SOB in a car shooting a longbeard in some guy's pasture. I can tell you for sure that 5 or 6 years ago I woulda hammered any legal bird that I called in.... Jake, mature Tom or bearded hen. Now I choose not to.... my choice for reasons that I think are important. Not tryin to impose that on anyone else though. Encourage maybe, impose, NO.
