Sweet mother of god.. :yike: .. so i don't get on for 3 days, and apparently I have started a word war. It took me 10 minutes to read through all the posts.
First off, let me say sorry, for not replying to anyone for this amount of time, but inbetween my 9 hour school day, and my 4 baseball games i played, i was out hunting. As much as a debate this has turned into i would like to say sorry, i need to be more clear on my story.
I would like to say i agree totally, that sneaking can be very dangerous, wether your attempting to sneak a tom, or a bugling bull, you never know when you might actually be coming on another hunter, or someone else who is hunting that same animal. :bdid:
Of the 8 birds i have killed, every single one of them have been called in, 4 bymy cousin, and 4 by me. Of any bird hunt i have been involved in, this was the first bird we ever had to get up and repostion to get the tom. We had the bird gobbling in the roost, he was with 1 hen, we watched them both fly down in plain site. They flew the opposit direction of where we were, but were on a logging road landing, a very nice green patch , we could see them just feeding. The tom was gobbling like crazy, answering to our calls, but did not want to leave his hen. So by 830 we decided, we would try and repostion ourselve on the otehr side of the birds. There was a quad trail that wraped around, so we backed out and went all the way around, and while we were walking down the quad trail towards the birds we saw them coming up the quad trail towards us about 80 yards away. So we sat down, and they walked right in, and i gave my cousin shot( i got first bird last year), he blasted the tom at about 40 yards.. Game over..... I apologize useing the word sneak, but we did manuever around the bird and cutt it off, didn't happen the ideal way, but it happend.
I understand, Machias, point of view totally, and i agree with it, it is stupid to attempt to sneak birds, or game, but there is a difference, between what you talk about on the computer, and what happends in the field, adrenline pumping, heart beating, you want the animal, what really happens.?.. Thank you for backing me up iceman, I am not attempting to tick anyone off, I just wanted to get the exact story of what happend out.
I would say i am safe, and ethical hunter, i abide by all the laws, but, i can't control what other people do, I hunt to the safest,a nd best of my abilitys, And though i am a 16 year old kid, and i know i still have more in this greatlifetime to learn, than i will. I also think i have a pretty good head on my shoulders, Top of my class, athlete,loving family,hard working, self supportive,and i know what i want in life. I love hunting, it is my true passion, I will live my life, to try and help conserve this way of life, so that future generations can continue to enjoy it.
I am happy to see everyones opinions, but know that is exactly waht they are opinions, take them or leave them, to each their own. Have the maturity, to respect that, and not get pissed off over the internet, because somebodys view is slightly different from yours.
I hope everyone has a great hunting season,and is safe out there in the woods, whether your on priviate property by yourself, or on public land with 20 other people, be safe, know your target, wahts beyond it. I am going hunting in the snow.
