...prior to daylight while turkey hunting?
Seems like every deer in the woods strolled by prior to daylight and sounded off on me. Didn't hear a turkey all morning.
Does a deer blowing at a hunter in the dark impact turkey activities?
Thanks!

Re: Impact of deer blowing at you...
I spooked deer and ran them right under a Tom. They were blowing like crazy and he stopped gobbling for less than a minute then continued gobbling, flew down and came in.
I have spooked deer that were with turkeys on the ground and the deer and turkeys both ran off.
IMO spooking deer in the dark is not likely to keep a Tom quiet for the entire morning.

I have had that happen many times. I have never seen it have a negative effect on the turkeys.

I've had deer spook and scare birds away that were coming in, but never while the bird was in the tree. It could happen I guess but I don't pay much attention to it.
