RE: I still say turkeys are tougher than deer
I don't hunt turkeys really.. so I am not even going to comment in this thread.
Except for the last statement about not hunting turkeys that is.
Oh.. and the statement previous explaining how I'm not going to comment in this thread.

Of course, he is sort of a turkey hunting god, so I hear. Rumors are buzzing around HNI about it anyway.

Still can't get over that time I had to stop and drain off a couple of cups of coffee. Stepped behind a big tree and commenced to watering a bush when a turkey came blasting out of that very bush. Now, I don't know about you, but I've never pee'd on a deer.
I have to say the only thing that makes turkey a smidge tougher to hunt is they are so gloriously DUMB. So dumb that it makes them unpredictable. It gives me a real chuckle whenever I hear someone say a turkey outsmarted them. (Usually it's a terrific confirmation of my assessment of that person's mental skills anyway.

Apples to apples, I say turkeys with a bow are tougher than deer with a bow. Turkeys with a shotgun are harder than deer with a shotgun. I give the deer the edge in intelligence (not much to compete against), but a turkeys senses are so acute its amazing.

RE: I still say turkeys are tougher than deer
I am having a blast this being my first turkey season. Had my first one gobble this morning to me!( and I am a horrible caller, so I do not know how on this earth that he gobbled to me). Only problem was, he was on the other side of the lake, 200 yards away
