Your best tip would to not do what I do.. I have called in Toms for lots of guys never myself. Last year three different times I was working birds and I watch this Yahoo crawling down the ridge to my right to cut the bird off from me.  He shoots the bird knowing full I was there. And also I was working a bird and just as I see it. Boom some guy from behind me starts blazing away.

Elk Crazy, Unfortunately this type of unsportsmanship is becoming all too common in some popular turkey hunting areas.  It even happens on posted private land!   :yike:

Only thing we can do is teach our new hunters properly in ethics and call the poaching hotline if we see anyone blatantly breaking the law.   To many folks are focusing only on the kill and bragging rights, instead of enjoying the whole hunting experience and treating others with due respect.   

And Crazy Elk, Maybe you should stick to just chasing elk?????   Just kidding!!   :rolleyes:

The safety issue is one big rason I won't hunt public land on a weekend.

How about this tip.  Don't shoot Jakes.  They are easy as pie to kill and they can't get big if you shoot yearling birds.
Dreams are forever on the mind, realization in the hands.
