The\u00a0list includes some long-time veterans of the outdoor industry which I find surprising as most of those labeled\u00a0with such a moniker have gotten there by being careful, conservative in their actions. Here&#8217;s a link to my original blog post: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/?p=126\">http:\/\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/?p=126<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Back then I stepped up on one big soapbox and said my peace. No apologies, no retractions as my thoughts have not softened or changed much on the subject. I sure rattled a few cages and there was plenty of pushback and claims\u00a0that I had no proof, no such foul play has ever occurred, totally safe, an elitist, and so on&#8230; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I&#8217;ll step back up again&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Writing from a perspective of firm conviction, without conflicts of interests, or other detracting voices along comes the unfortunate truth of what I believed would be the inevitable outcome. Not against decoy use in general, but I find myself using them less as I find better ways to set up on an approaching gobbler. If there was ever something\u00a0I would be all too happy to be wrong about, \u00a0it would be this subject. I ran across several stories offering evidence of how unsafe it is, which sadly I&#8217;ll get to shortly.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the perspective of &#8220;my way&#8221; is better than your way. Personally, I absolutely\u00a0love roosting a gobbler on a big ridge, figure\u00a0him out, call him in strutting to 30 paces and outsmart him for one single\u00a0last time. Lots of hunters prefer\u00a0hunting the edges of fields, I generally do not, but on occasion, I will if it is on the\u00a0menu that day. Hunting with different people at times, the menu and properties change. You have some hunters that find\u00a0<strong>Turkey Fanning<\/strong>, <strong>Turkey Reaping<\/strong> just as alluring as I find going about it the old time-honored ways of matching wits on the gobbler&#8217;s terms. In my last remark, It is not one way is better than the other. Very easy to imagine how much you would be on edge, your heart pounding in your throat while fanning up a big old gobbler. It has to be exciting, I get that. \u00a0In all that excitement, and the snap shooting judgment that goes with it, how brief is the time to safely assess your sight picture, foreground, and background while the gobbler is making a hasty exit? In my opinion, it&#8217;s not worth the risk that comes with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turkey Fanning<\/strong>, <strong>Turkey Reaping <\/strong>is<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>absolutely effective and a high percentage way to kill wild turkeys. Plenty of outdoor hunt footage can be found on Youtube with one gobbler fooled after another using this approach. \u00a0One is labeled as an elitist (bullying tactic) for decrying this method as foolhardy and unsafe for both the practitioner and unfortunate hunter who may come upon it. Is it worth that either may shoot each other or be shot inadvertently? It is reasonable to have disdain for the unsafe scenario it sets up. Since it&#8217;s resurgence has any gun safety instructors announced their endorsement of this practice? In the rolling terrain of upstate \u00a0New York, you are at risk. Should you be out in the middle of a flat\u00a0200-acre corn field yet to be planted, not a\u00a0concern. \u00a0There are a few states that now ban this method, I suspect the more wide open terrain states will not, and would not view it as problematic there.<\/p>\n<p>Propping up a turkey fan affixed to your barrel, worn on your head, or out in front while moving towards a strutting gobbler triggers him to dominate everything in the field. They come a running. Is this much different than going out on the\u00a0first day of deer season wearing\u00a0a deer costume with a pair of 140 class antlers on your head or as an attractive doe?\u00a0 I&#8217;ll buy you more than a few adult\u00a0beverages if you allow me to take out an insurance policy on you with my name listed as a beneficiary.<\/p>\n<p>Sure I have my preferred methods of how I hunt gobblers, I am not crazy about the choices of some hunters no more than they may of mine. But\u00a0where legal, ethical, and in different places in the world where one can pursue wild turkeys, it is how it&#8217;s done, take it or leave it. I have no quarrel\u00a0with that. When\u00a0it comes to\u00a0<strong>Turkey Fanning<\/strong>, <strong>Turkey Reaping <\/strong>it is my opinion that it is entirely\u00a0unsafe with the exception\u00a0of wide open fields and where rifles are illegal to use. Keep in mind we have hunters boasting of shotguns shooting effective patterns at eighty and ninety yards which is something not seen in a positive light in my view. I&#8217;ll leave that for another discussion.<\/p>\n<p>As promised, and while climbing back down my ladder, here are the links to such unfortunate events including one in 2013 resulting in the death of a fellow turkey hunter. The second link is a follow-up article that mentions the fatality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pilotonline.com\/news\/virginia-beach-hunter-fatally-shot-in-sussex-county\/article_7c81a9c5-830a-5dfe-92a4-5cacdc573bd9.html\">http:\/\/pilotonline.com\/news\/virginia-beach-hunter-fatally-shot-in-sussex-county\/article_7c81a9c5-830a-5dfe-92a4-5cacdc573bd9.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roanoke.com\/sports\/outdoors\/bill-cochran-turkey-fanning-effective-way-to-hunt-but-is\/article_7c8bd98e-fcdc-58bc-bd68-0997dc4e92bd.html\">http:\/\/www.roanoke.com\/sports\/outdoors\/bill-cochran-turkey-fanning-effective-way-to-hunt-but-is\/article_7c8bd98e-fcdc-58bc-bd68-0997dc4e92bd.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parsonssun.com\/news\/article_84ea535e-1fc7-11e7-bb26-9bfd6518961e.html?mode=jqm\">http:\/\/www.parsonssun.com\/news\/article_84ea535e-1fc7-11e7-bb26-9bfd6518961e.html?mode=jqm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would be perfectly happy if no such proof existed, ate my humble pie, and called it a day. Some things would be better on being wrong about it. I am a nonbeliever in calling such events &#8220;accidents&#8221; and nearly all of them could be avoided, rare exceptions noted. A form of &#8220;reapercide&#8221; we can do without&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My thoughts extend to any hunter injured or losing their life while chasing game in our great forests. Such events are stark contrasts to the beauty and wonderment of spending time in the great turkey woods.<\/p>\n<p>You may or may not agree with my comments, but I do believe we can agree that we all want to come back home at noon or the end of the day with great memories from the fields and woods we so love. Whether or not we agree on this topic, I would much rather buy you a craft beer and discuss as loudly as we care to rather than send my condolences.<\/p>\n<p>Be safe, shoot straight, and live well<\/p>\n<p>-MJ<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a9 2017 Mike Joyner- Joyner Outdoor Media<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three years ago I penned my thoughts on\u00a0Turkey Fanning, Turkey Reaping which has gained popularity by hunters and prominently\u00a0shown on many Outdoor TV shows.
