A 1,000 pound turkey!!! That is a scary thought!!I have to assume by the lack of replies that no one here has hunted wild Elk on the east coast, I would imagine that due to the difference in habitat that their behaviour would be different then elk out west, I know that elk cover much larger areas then a whitetail ever thought about and we are hunting 200 acres so I would imagine it would be almost shear luck to catch them passing through while deer hunting. Totally different then hunting them out west where you can travel for miles hunting them.
