Should Shoot-N-Scoot Turkey Hunting Be Allowed?


If you’re a hunter, one of the most anticipated sounds of spring is the thunderous gobble of a mature tom turkey. Whether from a comfortable chair in a ground blind or bundled up in camo seated on a cushion, back against a large tree, the winter-weary wild turkey hunter has a front-row seat when the woodlands come alive at dawn. For decades, spring turkey hunting involved picking a spot and setting up a shop, often with a decoy or two 20 yards away to attract attention. The hunter would call seductively, trying to imitate a hen to lure a bearded bird into range.
