No it's not... Hunting dogs would be FAR less challenging. A Turkey hunt is truely a challenge. I have probably been out 12-13 times in my life and have had 4 successes.

Your comparison does not work here...

Turkeys & Dogs can both feel pain in the same way, there should be no difference.
I know that. But when a turkey hunt is successful, I promise your the turkey feels no pain. Why? Because you have to call them in very close and at that very short range it is a instant kill.

If pain of the animal is your problem, turkey hunting should not be a problem for you.


I'm only up for hunting if you need to use the animals for food, I mean the HOLE animal .. don't just chop off it's head, skin the fur and leave the rest of the carcass. Sometimes in casses animals do over populate but that's nature and I would rather leave it be but of course that's not going to happen with humans around.
I never have and never will keep a animal I kill to turn into a trophey. I only hunt what I intend to eat or donate.

And you know what? I bet I love and respect nature more than most. Why? I am very responsible about my hunting, report morons who are not and I understand the gift that nature is. I am more at home in the woods that I ever will be in the concrete jungle.
