Go ahead and try it. My archery season on the property adjacent to mine quickly turned a turkey hunt. Opening morning a flock came to my tree stand. I never seen wild turkeys here, or many places near my home, until this year.

I blew my first opportunity by pure surprise of seeing turkeys and lack of stealth on my part. 3 days later I harvested one from my treestand with a crossbow. It was a well planned and prepared shot taken at 10 yards with a flock all around me. Turkeys will bust you as easily in a tree stand as on the ground. Props to those who take turkeys with compound or recurve bows. I will clarify that having a height advantage does help with seeing them approach. I always have that moment in spring when turkeys appear too close before I can see/react to the situation, and in turn getting busted while sitting on the ground.

The only advantages of hunting from a tree stand would be visual awareness and hunting both deer and turkey on the same hunting trip. Both are good enough reasons.
