RE: How close have you been to a wild turkey?
 

you fella's wanna talk about close..here is one for ya.Last year i was hunting in brown co, ohio and put some toms to bed one evening, and was planning on getting there an hour before dark and getting as close as possible low crawling to the tree they roosted in using my new guille suit i constructed myself, you know being a former marine and all i had to have one. So i got there 0 dark thirty, and low crawled about 20 yds from the tree they was in and just waited, about a few minutes before light i started some soft tree yelps and all the birds was talking and gobbling. All of a sudden i start hearing them fly down, the plan was to lay prone and try to get a shot at one of the toms. About that time, a turkey flies down and lands RIGHT ON MY BACK!!!!! Boy i aint never hollered so loud, you would of thought someone was torturing me,lmao. Needless to say my plan didnt work, im gonna try it again this year just not as close and not prone.

Well all of you have me beat but I figured I would post anyway. The closest I have been was my first one this year. He was about 15 feet and that was plenty close for me and mr.3inch. He was good on the grill!
