I think it depends on where you live, how long the seasons are, what the numbers are and the amount of pressure. It is much more difficult to kill turkeys than deer where I live. Heck it's hard just finding them sometimes.
I don't think brain size really matters, there are some extremely smart birds. And cows have large brains but are about the most stupid animal I have delt with.
Quite possible about the locations one hunts but I think that turkeys are just more spooky than deer. Deer can become curious when something is not quite right but turkeys split and that's that. I've pretty much nailed down the strutting areas for the turks in my area and year after year after year you can pretty much bank on them coming to these areas like clockwork.
