[QUOTE="Setterman, post: 5588641, member: 8139"] It’s not that I’m self righteous, not at all. It’s that I’ve seen this sport from an entirely different angle than sitting in a blind or staring at a decoy. I’ve had so many incredible highs duping a bird into a block of wood with a surface that sort of sounds like a Turkey, or a stack of latex and adhesive tape that mimics a hen to some degree. I’ve had incredible lows that lasts for weeks at times of striking out. Birds won’t gobble, they’re locked up with a dozen hens, crap set ups, and just bad luck. However, in between those lows are amazing hunts where I absolutely fooled a wary bird into truly believing I was his gal. He answered every call, and came to me and the sounds I made. He didn’t fly down into a field where he saw a challenger to his domain and run into me to protect his realm. All the while I sat perfectly concealed in a tent. His eyes can’t save him, and his brain has been triggered by another male only this one is plastic. The only skill or effort I made was carrying all that stuff and setting it out where he could see it. I didn’t carefully navigate the woods, and choose a set up that made him close. Not too far where he would hang up, not too close where I would spook him. There’s truly no way to outline the differences in the two styles of hunting in words. You either get it, or you start lobbing attacks like holier than thou etc [/QUOTE]
