RE: Can turkeys fly?
They certainly fly. The fly up to roost and down from that. They can fly some distance when required.
Reports of turkeys flying as much as a mile have been confirmed but usually it's only a matter of 100 yards or so, just enough to be free of the danger that set it in motion. I've personally witnessed a tom and hen flush as I drove near them and they flewover 200 yards.
