I've been thinking about the right words to get an idea through, this afternoon the phrase "being defeated" by a gobbler came to mind. I mean having a bird really hand you ass to you. It seems we keep coming up with stuff like extending the distance we don't have call one to with tss, so much better camo, the reaping crap, decoys etc. that we are stripping the gobblers ability to defeat us?
Sometimes it's just a simple matter of you hear him gobble on the roost, you make a call or 2 , he flies down, walks up and you shoot him and you're done. But many, many other times he won't come past that 50 yd mark or just sees something and that's it.
More so what I mean is in the past if a turkey never came closer than 50 yds he was almost certainly going to win but today that isn't so. Where do the advances end or do they never end?
