I would call them in from down wind with the same success
[8D] I hunt turkeys and I think its easy. I hunt locations to hunt P&Y deer and I find that a challenge, I've never had a Turkey mounted for the same reason I don't mount Bluegill.

If a turkey could smell us as dangerthey would be the hardest animal in the world to hunt.

Really depends on sheer numbers. In KS where I hunted turkeys with my bow, yeah, it was easy but hunting where the deer are that way too, well you know.
Just like whitetails, it's all about what state your in. Yeah, I said it!

Never shot one big enough, or caught one big enough to mount?
edit: I'm glad we can count on you to put at least SOME points on the board for Team 8!

So you're not much of a turkey hunter, or fisherman[:-]

I wouldnt compare a mature gobbler to a bluegill. And i agree with Rob when he says that birds are harder to hunt in some states then others, during archery season in my part of Ohio, there might be guys hunting my block every couple weeks, but there has been a guy in the turkey woods every morning pressuring them this week.

I think its a little extreme to compare catching bluegill with arrowing a gobbler. Anyone who wants to compare the two can come down for a weekend at my farm. I've got an 8 acre pond stocked with bluegill and 380 acres to turkey hunt...
