Turkey Stands

[Moose843]

This is being discussed on another forum- What do you think about hunting turkeys from elevated positions (deer stands)? 1st, is it legal? Apparently the answer is yes. However, for what reason would you be 12-15' off the ground to shoot turkeys?

the only reason I can see being in a stand is to get out of the rain.

Being a shitty hunter would be my guess.

Exactly right! Where's the damn challenge? Maybe they should use a robo decoy as well.

I shoot them in the fall from a tree stand. There is a fall season here.

Oh there are robo turkeys out there. I've heard some have a real turkey taxidermy on them. I hear they make turkeys act so spitting mad and absolutely crazy they come unglued. Just hearsay.

Some folks are just dumbernshit.

Same argument could be made for deer hunting over a corn pile, or crossbow instead of a compound instead of a recurve, with ozonics and scentlok. If it's legal, have at it.
FWIW, I don't hunt turkeys.

I see scrap is a turkey hunter. Thank God for box stands spread about the property when turkey hunting. Its nice to be able to get to one quickly when the bottom drops!

I made a miniature robo turkey decoy as a final project for one of my industrial electronics classes. Had the turkey mounted to a servo motor and I wrote the arduino code so that the turkey would turn and then turn back halfway and then continue to turn the other way. It had a ten second lapse and then would go around back to its original postion. Had it hooked up with sound and everything.

I bet Lab could not hear it gobble either....
