turkey hunting 95% of the time you need to be mobile and having a stand you wont be able to move half as fast as you need too... you can pattern turkeys down perfect and they still might not come near you even if they walked by that tree for a month straight...and calling from a tree i duno how that would work...turkeys can hear GREAT and they might look up and see no hen and leave...way before they are in range...might not hurt to try? may cost you a day or 2 afield but if u want try it...i never did and dont think i will...
