Depends. Just any turkey to just any deer....deer are easier.

Gobblervs mature buck things get a bit fuzzier. Sometimes turkeys can be the toughest things out there. But there are so few mature bucks around it requires a great effort. I have more confidence in getting after a buck, but I've also hunted for them much much longer.
Good point. With turks, I've found that getting on the same big bird isn't really a problem, getting him within range is of course, but locating and calling/gobbling is much easier and more predictable than a mature buck. Almost apples to oranges in that comparison just based on the home ranges. A big tom may live on the same 40 for his whole life, not so for a buck. Any animal that actually calls back is about as frustrating as it gets when you know right where they are but can't do a thing about it.
