I hear this all the time,,,,hunting turkeys "the old way",,,,,,,
read Herb Mclure's book about mountain turkey hunting in the mountains of GA in the 50s,,,,,,,fellow used all manner of ways of killing a turkey,,,run and gun,,,a blind (expedient as Double Bull hadn't started yet),,,and other ambushes,,,he called the blinds and ambushes "wild cattin'" the birds as he had seen a bobcat lay in ambush on turkeys,,,,,,
that man found no fault with any legal method to hunt turkeys,,,and he enjoyed them all,,,,,,
why do folks now claim that only run-and-gun is the "old way" of turkey hunting? why?
I've used a bunch of methods,,,,personally I PREFER run-and-gun,,,,but I don't prefer it becuase it's supposedly an "old way",,,just the way I enjoy,,,,,
so educate me,,,,,,what is "the old way"?
