Default RE: Very Uncomfortable Feeling!

Haven't had close encounters with deer, but this fall I was in my treestand in a huge old oak tree. Just before dark, I saw movement out about 40yrds. While I sat there and watched a flock of wild turkeys worked their way into the oak grove. Eventually there were about twenty-five of them and they proceeded to fly up and roost all around me in my tree. I couldn't believe the racket they made slapping their wings against branches and knocking down limbs. After about 10 minutes they all settled down with two of them so close I could have touched them with my longbow. I thought that when it came time for me to climb down, it would be a chinese fire drill with turkeys flying in every direction. But to my complete surprise, when I eventually started down, not a single turkey budged; they just sat there like statues and watched me walk away.
