I guess you did. When I posted there was only one vote and it wasn't yours.

I prefer to sneak onto private land and call easy birds.   

It's way more ethical than ambushing a wary bird in it's roost on public land.

I kid......   Really.

But between my son and I we only have 1 turkey apiece.   I've never hunted them til the last 4 years.   So, I'm not real confident in my turkey callin skillz yet.

I want to turkey hunt, but in order to do it I need to buy a few things.  First I will buy a truck no less than one ton and it has to have all the fancy flare and eye candy.  Get it jacked to the moon, and put some mossy oak camo on the seat covers.  I really want to blend in with my truck seats as I drive up and down private roads while at the same time drinking some beer.  Then When I find where they are roosting at, I will drive my rig as close to the roost as possible and hope that when I shoot them from the comfort of my truck they will  fall into the bed of my truck.   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Ok Turkey Dancer, not to one-up-ya. But I found a nest, and shot em in the egg. After I drove up the roost tree, on private land, with an expired license. Spotted the nest, drove back down and shot the egg. Nice light bird to carry out. All ready scrambled too! Oh yea, I took it to a certified scale and weighed him in at .64 ounces. Great bird!!!!! :IBCOOL:

I thought of that, but last time I picked up a possum I wasnt sure how to skin it, so I ate it with the hair still on. Sat next to my cat all night, and had a lovely evening of hacking hair balls!  :yike:

I patterned my bird where he flys off the roost on private property and crosses the road where I am waiting in my truck where i drive up to him while laying  on the box call out the window. When he hits the yellow center line I let him have it, also out the window. If there is a car coming I just leave him there. This is all only if I cant get a shot outta the roost with my .22  :chuckle:

I guess this isn't too serious of a poll.   :dunno:  I read the "out of a tree" one as from a tree stand and you are "missing stalked one and/or ambushed it."

For the goofy ones you missed "snuck up on another hunter's set, while shooting his decoy I accidentally hit the real tom he was calling in".
