I am not a hunter, just fish so I really don't know. Do turkeys fly? I swear I saw three in a tree tonight at a lake I fish but have only seen them on the ground before.
They sleep in trees. Usually only fly up to roost or down from roost unless trying to escape danger. I have heard of them flying over roads and lakes as well
I was going deer hunting one morning before day light walking along a ridge. I had no idea there was any turkey in that area. then all of a sudden the tree above me just explodes limbs falling and what sounded like helicopters taking off. after I composed myself I can see 9 birds flying off into the morning light from the sun getting ready to rise. it just about scared the cra# out of me. that was my first time seing wild turkey's but have seen a lot of them since.
a bunch of us was 4 wheeling on our atv's and I was in the lead and came around a corner and there was turkey's every where. they took off flying trying to get away. I took off after them and had 1 about head high not 2 feet from me. I could have reach out and grabbed it but I thought better.

wasn't really trying to catch them. if I had wanted i could have run over half a dozen of them when I came around the corner. I was just running my 4 wheeler along with the turkeys.

Turkeys are crazy cool to watch fly. They're pretty big birds & really cool to see em take off and fly! At least I think so lol.
