WALKING UP TO A WILD TURKEY

This short video was shot on a recent hunting trip at the Holder Mine WMA in Citrus County, Florida. I was walking deer trails checking sign when I came upon this turkey standing on the ground, it was very dry and the ground was crunchy, so it must have heard me - I got within 5 feet before it finally flew up in a oak tree. If you have ever tried to sneak up on a wild turkey -you know just how unusual this is.
