Its funny, because I'm one of the only turkey hunting grues that talk about the memory of the wild turkey. After Countless hours in the woods one on one with turkeys all across North America I noticed years back as how well a turkey seems to remember things and I'm talking things like

Out of place things
Learning the blast of guns
Learning the movements that cause him or her stress of danger
knowing the area they live in and how morning after morning unfolds to them and then hunting presure.

Well tonight I seen yet another level of their memory and that was I was sitting in a stand and watched a winter flock of 2 yes 2 but they worked a red pine edge out around 100 yards and worked up infront of me. As they picked pine seeds at 4:00pm and got straight in front of me, I yelped with my voice and one just let losse and flew straight at me and up into one of the red pines only 50 yards away.

As she settled the other was more concerned with feeding and walk down 75 yards and then turned and worked back up past us another 75 yards and then turned back and came about 40 yards and busted and flew up the rows and into a pine 15 yards from the other. She was a good 20-25 minutes behind the other.

I was impressed how that bird knew where the other one was and it was hard to see being at the top of them large pines.

They truely keep me thinking all the time...
