RE: turkey hunting from a stand?
I once set up my climbing stand in an area that turkey chose to roost in that night. They flew up around dusk and landed in the trees all around me. I thought one was going to land in my tree but he flew past. I could have shot one right off a branch about 10 yds away.
I shot a hen in the fall with my bow, as that is legal here. Not really my idea of turkey hunting though.
