“ Ground-sleuthing—shooting a game bird while it is on the ground or on water. Considered very poor sportsmanship and hated by people who consider themselves real hunters. . . A person who ground-sleuths is a ground-sleuther or, more commonly, a ground-sleuthing son-of-a-bitch.”
Glad those "real" hunters don't turkey hunt.
I didn’t know turkeys were in the air, saw decoys, set their wings, made a couple of passes, and came in.
Thanks
Ducks don’t always make passes and turkeys don’t always sneak into decoys. I am not sure what difference that would make anyhow.
I believe it was my 3rd Tom way back when I was about 20 years old, that he sailed in to my calls/decoy and I dumped him the instant he hit the ground.
My last bird I bumped from the roost well after daylight and I knocked him down like a flushed pheasant. It was glorious.
