RE: dumb question
turkeys have a very poor sense of smell. They dont really associate danger to smells like deer do. It is there eyesight you have to watch out for. Even strange sounds dont spook them like deer. My husband as talked to them before and they didnt spook. As long as they dont see the threat they dont spook.

RE: dumb question
I have some hen in heat scent for sale if you are interested. Really, no you don't have to worry about scent if just turkies are present. However, turkies and deer like to hang together sometimes. If the deer spook it can alarm any turkies that are near. Just a thought.
