Remember, your chances of being hunted by a turkey are low, but never zero. Be the alpha turkey. Good luck out there. 

🦃 Did you know turkeys have excellent vision? By rotating it’s head, the turkey has a 360-degree field of vision.

🦃 The are also fast. The average running speed of a wild turkey is 25 mph. How about you? 

🦃 Did you hear something? A turkey’s gobble can be heard up to one mile away. 

🦃 Feathers galore: An adult turkey has 5,000 to 6,000 feathers.

🦃 If they can stay on the paved trail, so can you.
