How long do you(personally) wait until you shoot a turkey? Myself, if I, have a shot at a NICE turkey, I take it. NOT like on TV, when there's a shot, I let fly! Sure, it's fun to watch decoys get the stuffing kick out of them. It's more fun to eat a turkey dinner! On the other hand, I'm not selling or filming. MOBU
If I have a nice tom in my sights its game over. No waiting for me. I only like to watch while deer hunting.
It all depends on the temperament of the bird. I have seen quite few guys take a mediocre shot when they could have waited.
Same here Heckler. I like to work the birds and watch how they react, but if they are in range and start acting like something is up I go ahead and shoot.
This for me as well....I have till noon in the spring to hunt everday per state regs so I get it done when I get the chance Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
