Turkeys can fly as fast as a bobwhite and can out run a horse in short distances. Couple that with innate wariness and 270 degree vision, they are a worthy quarry. If anyone says they've never missed one, they haven't shot at many. If you've shot at many and never missed, be quiet because there is a self-fulfilling curse for those who state it. There's an old saying: "Deer sees a man sitting in the woods: thinks its a stump. Turkey sees a stump in the woods; thinks it a man."
