question?
 

do turkeys have a good sense of smell and ability to hear like deer do? I know they have good vision.
thanks

RE: question?
 

You don't have to worry about their ability to smell, but their hearing is excellent. They canas good or better than a deer. Of course we all know about their vision. If theyhad the sense of smell as a deer has, we would never kill one.

RE: question?
 

only thing you gotta worry about scent in the turkey woods. Is that deer winding and spooking that big ole tom coming in. I know from experience Darn deer

RE: question?
 

One of the great things about turkey hunting is that you don't have to worry about scent control, however, turkey do have excellent sight and hearing...

RE: question?
 

They, like other animals have a sixth sense of knowing when somthing just isnt right. At least the stupid birds around here do...

RE: question?
 

Also, as far as there sight goes. Stillness is FAR more important that camo. I have successfully called in turkeys in blue jeans when I was scouting.

Come on Buck, you should know it's not too wise to call turkeys before season opens.

Thats what makes them wild Trukeys.
