In PA you can take a turkey out of a treestand if it is open, no cover on sides. If there is cover on the sides it is considered to be a blind and while turkey hunting, the stand would have to be covered top and sides because to legally hunt turkey from a blind in PA, it must hide the hunter top, bottom and sides. In addition, to hunt turkey from a blind in PA, the blind must be made of synthetic material, you can't build on out of wood or other natural materials so that would make hunting turkey from one of those wooden tower stands illegal. The legislature really dropped the ball on that law when they amended the law to allow blinds. Prior to that hunting turkey from a blind was illegal period.
