Exactly

But I see a need for a blind now and then. Especially with some youngsters

I can't claim to have started turkey hunting in the 80's, but turkey hunting for me is and never will be like deer hunting. The biggest thing I noticed has changed for me in relation to turkey or deer hunting, is that I wish I could effectively call deer and they respond to me. Guess I'll have to find a way to become an elk hunter to make that work out...

Awwww, come on, it always get's better and doesn't go backwards .. unless ya' want it to

And there's always going to be change, whether we like it or not

Old age tired legs has me in a blind, just a piece of burlap draped over a fence to sit behind and a slit cut in it to shoot from, it is what it is and I will make no apology for using it.

I see the author's point, but blinds have a place. I don't use a blind, never used one, but those who do step inside a blind most often don't have access to half million + acres of public forested land within a 3-hour drive. So, if I hunted field edges on a couple hundred acre lease I'd own a blind too.

I started in the 60's and feel the same way. Turkey hunting has changed a lot, as has everything else. But one thing to remember, it only changes if you do. I hunt how I want to, but have no problem with others doing the same. The only time I take offense is when others suggest to new hunters they should get X-brand decoys, double bs blind etc. But as soon as someone suggests the new guy try it without some of the newer innovations they're tagged as an arrogant elitist.

I went through several progressions and digressions over the years but still hunt about the same way as I did in the 60's. And still manage to kill a couple here and there. I will admit I've made upgrades to some equipment like guns and shells, but the actual pursuit is about the same. But like I said earlier, I hunt the way that brings me the most enjoyment and satisfaction, and encourage people to experiment and do the same.

i like calling. For me it's a big part of it. But, it is what it is

I started in the 70’s and it was much more challenging Everything is much to easy now and i suspect unless someone figures out some better techniques on how to increase the turkey population you will hear a lot more people saying “they just weren’t gobbling this morning “
