and I mean the same exact set up as deer hunting. I have two stands that turkeys routinely walked under and around during deer season, so the thought crossed my mind.
I’ll call BS on that!!You can’t hunt turkey from an elevated position

No sport in hunting from elevated deer stand
Is there no sport in hunting with camo? Maybe we need to hunt them the same way they did in the old days, in their farm cloths.
No sport in hunting them with a 12 ga. Maybe we should be limited to 410 or 28 ga to make it more sporting.... Limit it to 2 3/4" also...
I looked all thru the regs BEFORE I posted the question....didn't see anything about it...You can’t hunt turkey from an elevated position

No sport in hunting from elevated deer stand and you will be missing out on the opportunity to go eyeball to eyeball with him. But, people always looking for a short cut to kill that ole tom, just like it was hard to sit on the ground and call him in, so lets get up 40' and he can't see us up there, just pick him off when he comes thru.
I kill turkeys every year in the same spots I deer hunt. In fact have used the ladder as a prop when I sit between the ladder and treeIn my opinion if you choose to hunt them that way you will be cheating yourself out of everything that makes turkey hunting so special. Turkeys habitat needs vary greatly from fall to spring so the birds you're seeing from your deer stand in the fall may or may not be anywhere around during the spring.

Got to ask. Have you been calling from your stand?
That's why I said there may or may not be turkeys in the spring in places where you deer hunt in the fall. I have deer hunted properties that were covered up with turkeys, but come spring couldn't find a track. I have also deer hunted a property that during fall had zero sign of turkeys anywhere but come spring the turkeys moved in and it was a great turkey property. I stand by my statement that to me hunting them from an elevated stand would take away from everything that makes turkey hunting what it is.I kill turkeys every year in the same spots I deer hunt.

given the state of .410 and 28 ga loads these days they are far superior to 12 guage loads of 10 years ago.Is there no sport in hunting with camo? Maybe we need to hunt them the same way they did in the old days, in their farm cloths.
