[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5043039, member: 1409"] I'm in general agreement with that. As to sitting in a tent, some properties (perhaps most on private land in TN) are so small that your actual hunting does the same harm as the "scouting" you're speaking. On small properties, hunting from a blind can be the least intrusive method for keeping local birds on the property. Setterman, how do you feel about hunting from a "tent" [I]WITHOUT[/I] using any decoys? I know you and I disagree on the effectiveness of decoys, but IMO, for an accomplished turkey hunter, they are generally more disadvantage than advantage. I've experimented with them, sometimes hunt from a "tent", but generally do not use decoys any more. I do know we agree on the most enjoyable way to turkey hunt, but "run & gun" over miles of territory is not a way many people can hunt small properties without running off their birds. Perhaps "hunting" a small property is not really turkey hunting, but it's the closest opportunity many have to experience some of what we love about turkey hunting. [/QUOTE]
