This is going to make it difficult to sneak up on turkeys before daylight. I creep through my club listening for gobblers, and it all goes quiet when I stop and all the lights come on when I open my door. Not so stealthy Ford.


It's not the truck that's the problem, it's the driver that wants to drive around listening for turkeys. Of course they go quiet. They can see your POS truck. You are worried about the interior lights. A turkey can see your truck from 10 miles away. What makes you think it's the lights?

it's freaking 6000 acre hunting club, with some good gravel roads through the timber. I walked/rode over 100miles on my gps just this spring scouting it. If I pull up at a crossroads, or on top of a hill and kill my engine to listen for turkeys, I want to be able to get out and walk to one I hear gobbling on the roost. I sure as shite ain't walking 5 miles around before daylight just to locate birds before I go into work. Unless the bird is roosted right near the road, I can locate them and drive away with out disturbing them, then come back another day to kill it. Been done many times before, it will just suck locating them with a big bright flashing truck.

10 miles away? Seriously? I'm not hunting in the desert, moron. If a hunter can't park within 10 miles of a gobbler, you better get hiking now before the season starts
