Yes, the way their eyes are designed, they actuallycan. It has been my experience that turkeys will pick up movement as quick and probably quicker coming from a treestand than on the ground.

I have killed numerous turkeys with a bow, but all from a ground blind. With a ground blind, turkeys are really not any harder to kill with a bow other than the added hindrance of carrying and setting up the blind, as compared to killing onewith a shotgun in a natural set up.

Now calling in a turkey and killing one with a bow in a natural set up, that is a tough, tough challenge that I have never been able to accomplish.
