Awe man! I sure envy you living where turkeys live. We dove 5.5 hours each way to hunt turkeys this spring. They’re beautiful and majestic birds, with absolutely amazing senses of sight and hearing. They seem clumsy, but they can vanish into the woods without ever appearing to hurry. They can fly 50 mph when they want to (which isn’t often). The only reason we can hunt them successfully at all is because they don’t have a good sense of smell. If turkeys could smell as well as deer, then nobody would ever have a successful hunt. They’re sneaky ninja birds that can hide in plain sight, despite being the size of two basketballs stacked on top of each other, and weighing 30 pounds. Anyways, great shot, of a great bird!
