Default RE: Turky Running Down A Deer

A couple years ago I saw a doe that was out of bow range. I tried grunting at the deer when another doe I didn't see bolted and took the one I was watching with her. I had the wind and barely grunted, I didn't think I was spotted, and wondered why they ran. Just as they took off, a hen started calling from the position of the deer that bolted. As she called,I watched 21 birds march straight to her. Before I knew it, they started flying up to roost, in the same group of trees my stand was in! So there I was, roosting with these turkeys wondering how I was going to get down without spooking the whole flock... I waited til they completely settled down and it was totally dark and somehow made it down without spooking them. I still don't know how I did that. Anyway, I'm thinking those deer ran from the hen, not from me. Guess I'll never know.
