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

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.

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

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...

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

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.

If turkeys had a sense of smell - I am afraid we would never Kill them!
