Doe anyone else think the The National Wild Turkey Federation‘s url is funny? Anyway, nwtf.org offers hunters 10 Tips for a Safe Spring Turkey Hunt.
1. Leave the area if you suspect there’s another hunter already working the same bird. “Working” as in hunting. Look for beer cans, cigarette butts, shotgun shells and spoor. Just kidding. I think.
2. Resist the urge to stalk turkey sounds. It is nearly impossible to sneak up on a turkey. It is also unethical and could lead to an accident. Just my luck: I missed the Turkey Hunting Ethics class at Harvard Law. Anyway, I like how the Turkey Feds use the word “accident” as opposed to “shooting someone.”
