I went out deer hunting yesterday morning and I heard the turkey talking to each other all morning long. Watched 'em fly up to roost. I am guessing about 4 turkey in all. When I am was sitting in my treestand.
Well, I had to leave before noon, so around 10 am I left my stand and made my way back to the house. I decided to walk through one field that is pretty overgrown in the hopes of kicking up a deer. Instead of kicking up any deer I kicked up about 20 turkey that were hiding in the tall grass!
10 flew to my left and 6 or 7 flew to my right. Just as I finished counting 2 more took off and flew to my left! I had never seen so many turkeys (they all looked like Toms too) take off and fly like that. When I first heard the rustle of the grass I thought I had kicked up a deer, and then a cloud of black birds took off. I started laughing, I didn't know how else to react. I wished I had had my camera with me since turkey season is closed, have to wait until spring.
Has anyone every shot a turkey that was flying? I have never heard of anyone shooting a turkey as it was flying, only sitting still and calling them in.
