Surf and Turf Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 That's crazy! Glad you can't use a rifle or large shot here! A couple of years ago a hunting buddy was set up over a couple of hen decoys, he heard something behind him turned his head and there was a guy pointing a shotgun basically right beside him about to shoot at his decoys. Buddy lost it, the trespasser and his buddy took off. He reported it but no description of vehicle etc. Caught the same guys out there the following fall, said they had permission etc., almost came to blows, this time the MNR tracked the guy down as had license plate etc. and laid charges.

gunner-2 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Turkey hunting can be very dangerous I can't believe the gov took away the safety course on this i had guys sneak up on me before trespassing thank god he wasn't getting ready to shoot walked right past me and i flipped out on him same story he had permission oh really who gave you permission cant think of his name pulled out my cell called the owner asked him if he had permission as i was talking to the farmer he started to walk away so as loud as i can so he can hear me i told the owner he is on his way out so the owner met him on his way out told him never come back or charges will be laid so guys /gals always have the property owners number on hand and if you have to call him by the time he is out of the bush he can have a cop on sight well you hope any ways we already have a bad name but we together can change the way people think about us by helping the owners and the authorities keep the unlawful hunters in check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgm Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I took the Hunters course before they stopped doing the turkey course. They basically went over the turkey course anyway. I thought that was real good. There are always guys who do what they want, and don’t take safety of themselves or others into consideration unfortunately. Hope you all have a good safe season, hope to see some pics of how you all do, and hopefully post one of my own as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundtastic Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Agreed, I will be a new hunter looking for Turkey in the spring. I have a buddy who has hunted for a long time and I mentioned a specific NPCA spot and he told me if you go there you will get shot. So like KGM said it comes down to the person. I finished the course a couple weeks ago, there were some questions asked that worried me, there were also some people that should not have passed. Which they did not. I'm sure that is why there are no tresspassing signs galore in our region.......ruined by people. Just like good fishing spots. No stalking those Turkey's LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner-2 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Welcome to the hunting field Lundtastic it's the people that don't give a crap that ruined it and give hunters a bad name .As for stalking turkeys you are 100% right the calls today sound like real turkeys and the decoys are the same you can look at a decoy and wonder when it's going to move thats how real they look it takes no time for someone to sneak up on you and think your decoy is a real turkey and not think that on the other side of the decoy is a hunter . but on a good note turkey hunting can be very exciting same as all hunting or like a great day on the lake hunting isn't always going to be a bad day out you will have more great days then bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I've always thought wearing camo for turkey hunting , plus using realistic decoys could be a tad on the dangerous side . When hunting for deer, moose, grouse , etc. bright orange is required for the sole purpose of being seen by other hunters . Even then, some have been shot by "sound shooters" by clueless people .( notice I didn't call them "hunters" ). Keep your ears open wide and eyes peeled guys ! BTW.... from across the big lake ......this has gone viral , world wide as the "vegans" have launched a war on a game restaurant in T.O. The owners names is "Hunter" . The veganeers have been harassing customers as the exit but it seems to be back"firing" on them . Many comments mostly supporting the restaurant. http://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/wallace-protesters-real-animals-in-antler-dispute#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba14 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Been hunting turkeys for a number of years now on private property but that hasn't stopped people on three different occasions trespassing while I was sitting there. Once, while set up on a hedgerow a guy took a shot in the bush right across from me, scared the crap out of me as I was the sole person with permission to be on the property. As I got up from my spot and started to walk across the field, he high tailed it out of there, jumping on an ATV that he had parked a couple of hundred yards away.

Depends I guess. Turkeys see colour but from everything I'm reading the key is no movement. I'm staying clear of HStone NpCa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm staying clear of HStone NpCa. I was out walking through humberstone yesterday. Doesn’t seem like a good area for turkeys. It’s pretty wet. Maybe will dry up by the end of the month though and be better for turkey? Was looking at the other NPCA close by. It looks ok. Didn’t see any turkey at either place though.

smerchly Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Things have really changed over the years Gunner . Thievery has increased ten fold since I was young . Leave a bicycle unlocked at a store , or a car with keys inside and they will be gone in seconds . I guess we have so many more low lifes that steal everyday , the law (courts) look at it as a minor issue ....just call your insurance co. Those so called hunters who ignore the laws , steal from others and trash the area need a RUDE awakening ......maybe the farmers could use drones to find these creeps , get some info on them and their vehicles ..... I have hunted for pheasants in Niagara where we walked all day ...never used a blind/stand and camo gear . But I can see you guys need to be very wary stalking the turkeys having to watch your back for those bush apes with a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
