RE: whats harder to hunt?
Oh my Gawd!!! I can't believe this!!!!![&o] Unbelievable! Turkeys harder to hunt than deer????? Holy cow! No way in sam hell that is so! Turkeys have a brain the size of an acorn and I'm usually tagged out within the first couple hours of the opener. The time, patience, work, skill and dumb luck it's required for me to shoot some pretty nice bucks over the years is enormous compared to the 15 minuts of prep time I spend getting dressed to go turkey hunting. I'm speechless...kind of.

I think it depends on where you live, how long the seasons are, what the numbers are and the amount of pressure. It is much more difficult to kill turkeys than deer where I live. Heck it's hard just finding them sometimes.
I don't think brain size really matters, there are some extremely smart birds. And cows have large brains but are about the most stupid animal I have delt with.

Guys, and gals,
I am surprised to hear that some of yall think that deer are harder to hunt that turkeys. I supose it is just the different styles of hunting within the different regions. Around here, deer are shot at 100 yrds+. Turks at 30 yrds or less. Makes a big difference. There is no such thing as a tree stands here on the west coast(where I am anyways), so deer are easy to hunt: spot at 100yrds+ and take 'em down with the rifle.
Like I said earlier: Deer with bow and turks= same difficulty, deer with rifle and turks with shotgun= turks way harder.
