Turkeys seem to be unbothered by deer...  They will intermix with cattle as well...  They like to turn over the cattle turds for bugs and such.

Horses do not seem to like turkeys, and apparently the feeling is mutual...  I have seen them in the same area, but I have also seen horses run off turkeys...  Also, horses often do NOT seem to do well with gunfire.

But in general, I find it easier to hunt when there are bovines around (wild pigs, deer, cattle, sheep, etc)...  They are making noise walking through the woods, which likely makes (some of) the noises we make in the woods less worisome to the birds...

2024 Guns N' Hoses / Finally sealed the deal

Last post by RutnNStrutn - May 03, 2024, 12:06:28 PM

Yesterday morning I was out at the cattle ranch that I got permission to hunt on. Heard 2 gobblers on the roost, and closed the gap to 75 yards from one, and 100 yards from the other. They gobbled well, and finally flew down. Unfortunately, hens flew down too, and led them away. A half hour later, a pack of 4 yotes cruised through and flushed a couple of silent birds. Game over.
I went back to the same spot for an afternoon roost hunt. It was a slow and quiet afternoon. I called periodically, and late in the day I got a single gobble in response. I let out a few soft yelps and got the gun up. About 10 minutes later, I hear drumming, and then footsteps in the leaves. Then, here he came, cresting the hill, popping in and out of strut, looking for a hen. I let the 20 gauge roar, and sent a load of Apex Small Town Blend TSS to lay him out at 32 yards.
He weighed 19 lbs 12 ozs, and had a 10" beard with twin 1-3/16" spurs.
It's been a long and frustrating season, but the monkey is finally off my back.

If you call up a gobbler it won't be because deer were there.  It will be because you sounded like a hen turkey.

If you don't call up anything it won't be because deer were there.
