Title: Night vision
Post by: renegade19 on April 04, 2011, 06:31:08 PM
Dr. Williams, How well do turkeys see in the dark?  I've got a bird roosted on a ridge that requires me to set up within 70 yards or so of him.  Even thought I'm setting up well before daylight, is he busting me while on the roost?  He'll gobble like crazy, but just won't commit to coming in when he flies down.

renegade19,

Turkeys see fairly well in dark.  Better than you can.
