RE: turkeys vision

Funny how you can have turkeys almost in your lap, but deer can spot you a mile away!!!! I can't tell you how many times while sitting on my seat up against a tree, down wind, only to have deer stop and pick me right out every single time. Then minutes later have three turkeys within 20 feet of you???
I agree with the turkeys eye sight being spectacular, but as far as picking out a hunter up against a tree they fail miserably. They can see colors. I was set-up near Blaze orange ribbon in trees from a logging operstion and they walked right by this stuff pecking away as they went. Movement is the big key here, don't move and they won't know your there. But move a finger/hand at the wrong time and bang, there gone!!
