[417coty]

@edzgarage Did you?!?!?! awesome!!! wild turkey is soo much better than tamed..

[marcoorion]

Never saw that before, only quick low flights or strutting through the woods. Watch out below!

[edzgarage]

@marcoorion I was surprised too to see them so high in the trees. And you'er right, watch out below!!!

[Brown1286]

Funny how much alike wild turkeys and chickens are. They both travel in groups, communicate with clucking and go to roost in the evening, the only difference being the turkey's roost is about 40' higher in the air. It's virtually predator-free up there. Now if you can just figure out how to get them to lay you some eggs you'd be in business.

[edzgarage]

@Brown1286 Turkeys are a lot like chickens. They lay eggs once a year. I think you saw my videos in the spring and early summer of these birds hatching. I hope to have more laying eggs in the food plot and hatch some more.

Great thanks. Didn't know Turkeys could fly that high.

[edzgarage]

@beecheli Me either. Thanks for the comment!

[MagicCadillac]

That's cool to see some wild turkeys in the trees. Nice vid

[edzgarage]

@MagicCadillac Thanks Kay! Do you have turkeys there?

[MagicCadillac]

@edzgarage Well, I think we got some wild turkeys but I never saw one.

[mrwiggles2]

I didn't know they'd get up so high. Thought they were just a ground bird...

[edzgarage]

@mrwiggles2 I was surprised the first time I saw this too. 

[SCRC401]

Makes me hungry!

[edzgarage]

@SCRC401 LOL Me too!

[ShawnCFarm]

I know someone that gets them at night with a light and a .22 cal. I don't think I'd want to get caught doing that lol

[edzgarage]

@ShawnCFarm I think shooting at night here is illegal unless you're hunting raccoon.

[ShawnCFarm]

@edzgarage Same here.

[IMATANK84]

[WhoSaidTyler]

Do search on here for "staten island turkeys" and you can see what happens when turkeys live in the burbs.

[edzgarage]

@WhoSaidTyler I'll have to check it out.

[2024JayZ]

Neat video Ed We go out to the woods find their roost then go back the next morning and shoot them as they come down I find a lot of turkey poop in my deer stand also :)

[edzgarage]

@2024JayZ lol Isn't that cheating? I bet it works good though. Thanks Jason!

[2024JayZ]

@edzgarage That's how most turkey hunters do it Well maybe not the rookies :)

[edzgarage]

@2024JayZ LOL!

[mbyr31]

What a great sunset!

Those deer must have known you didn't have a gun on you, or they probably wouldn't be just standing there...LOL!

I'm actually surprised they can make it up in those trees! Thats crazy!

Great vid Ed!

[edzgarage]

@mbyr31 You're right. If I had a gun in my hand they would be nowhere around me! Thanks Matt!
