If Turkeys *COULD* Smell, What Would You Do?

[hobbes]

Sounds like elk hunting during the rut.  Stay down wind......period, and maybe post the shooter downwind of the set up.  It would just take a little more thought for the setup.
If it would send the masses out fishing .......... I wish they could smell.

I would have started hunting them

Much like bowhunting deer, I would probably quickly get tired of the 1,000 steps that I take to be "scent free". I would then take up fishing and golf until deer season.

I'd sit here at the house and watch 'Golden Girl' re-runs with the wife.

.338 lapua.

[Gobble!]

Shower more often.

[JLH]

I'd shoot them in the nose...

[Gumby]

I'd have to change locator calls.

Now that's funny

Ok, this is probably a pretty silly question to be asking, but ...  hey, it's the off-season, so what the hay?!?!  We don't have anything better to do now but discuss silly stuff, right??

You know the old saying, "If turkeys could smell, you'd never kill 'em".  Well...  What if they *COULD* smell?  How would YOU go about killing them?  I've got some thoughts/theories, but ...  curious to hear what you'd do different, if turkeys did have the capability to smell/wind you.

GO!

Interesting question, have often thought that myself. If they had olfactory sense, the only option would be the same as white tail. Get up in a tree stand and wait.  It would help me quit smoking for sure!

I'd use a .223 and shoot them from 200 yards away.

Good choice, wish we could here in TN. If that were legal I could tag out in a week.

it would give me another excuse....the wind shifted and he caught my scent
