Actually wild turkeys fly all around the place.

Do they fly or do they somehow just sort of hop up branch to branch on trees and then glide down from height? I recently witnessed five turkeys coming down one at a time out of a tree just sort of gliding to the ground.

We have wild turkeys frequently; they fly well.
Just chase ‘em with an atv.
The turkeys with arms instead of wings don’t.

And fly through thick brush a person can hardly walk through.

Oh, yeah. My wife learned the hard way, driving up US41 north of Tampa one flew into the grille and did some damage. Wild turkeys are also a problem in the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions where we lived. Oftentimes the NY DEC extends the wild turkey season to help keep them under control.

I had some Kentucky Bourbons for a while and those guys could fly with the best of the wild ones, right over the house, roosting in the trees, on my tractors, truck, and anywhere else off the ground at sundown. Naturally, they defecated every minute or so so you can imagine the mess. I had to finally pen them up or they would waltz over to the neighbor’s yard and do the same thing. I saw them on the neighbor’s house roof one evening at sundown.

Yes...got them in my neighborhood.
