Can you stalk turkeys?

Stalking turkeys is generally not considered an effective method for hunting them. Turkeys have keen eyesight and are very cautious creatures. Attempting to stalk them can often result in spooking the birds, which means they will take flight or move away quickly at the first sign of danger. This behavior can lead to a frustrating hunting experience, as the turkeys can easily evade hunters who try to approach them stealthily.

Understanding turkey behavior is critical for a successful hunt, and hunters typically rely more on techniques such as calling and setting up in areas where turkeys are known to travel rather than stalking. Thus, the assertion that stalking is not effective aligns with the realities of turkey hunting practices.
