Turkey hunting help

I have learn this over the years. When deer season is in and turkey season is not you will have turkeys all around and under your stand even though you are wearing blaze orange and can be doing a brake dance up in your stand and they will just not spook. When turkey season comes in if you are not in complete camouflage head to toe right down to the tips of your fingers and most of all have a head net to cover your whole face. With their I am told 8 power equivalent eye sight they will see you blink your eyes at a 100 yards and you will hear PUTT, PUTT, PUTT as they are getting out of Dodge.

That's about right. I have a massive amount of respect for their instinct and survival. I moved my forefinger to take the safety off my 1100 years ago while laying prone in full camo to take a shot at a Tom. When he saw that finger movement believe it or not, he went into full Roadrunner mode. It blew my mind.
