Hunting technique poll

[hbg1]

I am sure there are categories I'm missing but I'd like to do a poll of turkey hunting techniques and hunter ages.

category 1- traditional- only shoot a turkey if he comes to a call and never uses decoys or sits in a blind

category 2- mostly traditional but have no problems with using decoys

category 3- hunts primarily in a blind using decoys, calling occasionally

category 4- turkey hunts when I can and willing to use whatever legal method needed to kill a turkey( ambush, calling, blind, decoys, reaping, etc)

please post your main category along with your age

Category 1- 28 years old

I will say I have reaped a few birds a few years ago but have never sat in a blind or used decoys. Now days it's just me a call and a gun.

Category 5: Slowly stalk through the frozen section of the grocery store and pick out a good butterball for Thanksgiving

I have yet to hunt turkey, I have a slate call, and have called some in, just to see if I could get it to work, but was unarmed as I was still building my shoot house. One day I may give it a go, I have a few that come on my land, often enough to know they are around a lot, so I should be able to get one. And oh, yea, 56yo

Has to be. It's technically legal. Though I would hope some would draw their line before that, even if they're open to the other tactics listed.
