These are great! I concur with most of them (fence, downhill, water) as I’ve seen em too.

I want to test the backwards hat trick haha.

On the unkillable topic - that could be a fun thread - the birds you just couldn’t kill (or had a hard time). Thoughts?

Good idea start it up

I’ve also heard that turkeys want gobble at night.

Over the summer last year we had some pretty nasty thunderstorms and at 10-11oclock the birds were going crazy shock gobbling on the roost in the dark at the lightening.

fence crossing is one that stands out.  The first time I saw a hen slide under a fence I remember thinking..."Now she's not suppose to do that"  It was then that I started realizing the minute you say something won't happen it will...

Couldn’t agree more, or watch a 2.5 year old
Come up to a barbed wire fences strut backwards and forwards lol and then almost jump take off flying and fly over it.

The myth that you can't kill a turkey by stripping down and back-azz crawling up to him.  I mean come on, how many times has this been disproved?

Turkeys are smart.
PA elitist since 1979

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.
