Free: Contests & Raffles.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
This has to be the dumbest thread I have ever read on this site.
Quote Half of us spend most of our time on here b!?ching about wdfws rules now half of you on this thread are defending them? Hmmmmmm. I didn't realize this had anything to do with any rules or lack of rules. This is about ethics, not laws. You can't have a law for everything. Shooting turkeys out of a tree is ethical in some people's minds, and not in others. Just like shooting a duck on the water or a pheasant on the ground is considered unethical by many. But generally I believe most people feel it's ok to shoot a grouse on the ground, or out of a tree. I remember several years ago at a WDFW commission meeting, a guy was there, I think representing the Ruffed Grouse Society, and he was trying to convince them to make it illegal to shoot grouse with a rifle or pistol, because in his mind it was unethical. My opinioin is, the fewer laws we have, the better. Let people make up their own minds on what feels right to them.

Quote from: Kowsrule30 on April 26, 2012, 01:27:14 PMI don't see the big deal about stalking a turkey.... That's how I mainly hunt them.... Have killed four that way.... Sitting calling them in isn't my cup of tea... It's no different then calling elk or deer while still hunting them or spot and stock..... So most turkey hunters are so trigger happy they pepper the first thing they see move? Is that the problem??? It's no different then patterning any big game animal then hunting them.... They just fly and have two legs.... I patterned a flock of 17 birds @ 4 years ago...It would take them 7-8 days to make their rounds on 4-5 different ridges.... Different roost everyday.... On the sixth day Dad and I finally cut them off on a 4 mile stock.... He shot his in the face at 5 yards... I shot mine in the back of head at 27 when it was quartering away on a dead run.... Only call I ever used on that trip was a locater... I rather have them not know where I'm at and know right where they are as I stalk in... Having all those Ravens around was really their downfall though.... Might head back over there this year.... That sounds like fun and challenging, too.
