Why would you want to "flush" a turkey?
That's not a spring tactic that I know of at all.
Care to expand?

I was just walking through the sticker bush laden spring woods, when I flushed that jake from a sticker bush. The place where I spring hunt turkeys is infested with sticker bushes, that most hunters fear treading through. I got a bead on his head --- just as I do on upland game --- as I swung through him...but by the time I saw his beard, he was just out of range.
I learned from that instance...that some toms and jakes will sometimes hold-up in a bush, instead of just running away. Much like pheasants will do.
I've only shot at one flying wild turkey. It was a fall hunt in Western Maryland...when I called in a young jake from a flock and took a shot at him standing about 40 yards away --- He immediately catapulted himself vertically in the air, and flew directly over my head about ten yards away --- I swung though his head and shot... with him quickly folding to the ground in a heap.
