Are deer beneficial?

[Zobo]

I'm set up in a good spot this morning lots of gobbling. I have three deer right in front of me for the last hour. Im calling and they aren't scared off. I don't normally have deer hang around like this. Is this a good thing or are turkeys less likely to come into my calling position?

Deer are usually leerier of the Turkeys then Turkeys afraid of deer. Confidence decoys!! I had deer blow at me last Friday and mess up the hunt.

I had a gobbler strut right by 3 does and chest bump a turkey buzzard before I shot him. I didn't know the turkey buzzard was on the side of the ditch but the gobbler didn't like it and pushed him off.

I think it can be a good thing if they keep their distance. Personally I don't like deer in close proximity of me (30 yards or so ) while I'm turkey hunting. I don't mind if they are off 80 yards or more as I enjoy watching them.

Deer are beneficial for the freezer. The last thing I want while I'm turkey hunting is a GD deer blowing and causing a scene while I'm in the woods and especially when I'm fooling with a turkey.
