I love bow hunting and turkey was just another option. But there is something satisfying about shooting those things in the face with a gun. A .410 with TSS sits them down.
With a turkey, you just gotta worry about 18 pounds of eyeballs...LOL --- Okay, less with a hen.Archery hunting with them is super fun to me. I’ve killed plenty running and gunning but there’s something satisfying hunting them like deer and calling to things that respond much more than deer that you don’t have to worry about wind direction.

"So I got that goin' for me, which is nice..."
I've always said that if turkeys had any sense of smell, no one would ever kill one.
There is some truth to that. But I've also seen turkeys be predictable on occasion, which isn't the exact same thing as them knowing what they are going to do, but it's close enough.
Food and sex are on their pea brains in the spring, and security if they've been boogered. Of course, they're on their own schedule ("turkey time") which makes them seem not deliberate. But ultimately they "know" what they're doing.
Hmmm ... That reminds me of the famous line from Cool Hand Luke .... LOL
