What's the furthest you ever saw a Gobbler fly out of his roost tree to the ground? Mine would be 732 yds (just looked it up on google earth) or so. From up in a hill across a 20 acre field and landed on the far side while I watched from about 40 yds from his roost tree.

I’m not positive on distance, but I’ve seen a bird fly off the side of a mountain in Jackson County and go a long arse way before crossing the paint rock river and landing 200 yards out in the middle of a 40 acre pasture. I would guess 600-800 yards or so, but I don’t know for sure.

I saw one fly diagonally across a 40 acre pasture for sure. So what’s that 600 yards or so?

Have some property with a lot of clear cut on it with a decent amount of hills. Their favorite move is to fly down within 100 yards of roost until I know where they roost. At that time, they will fly to the the next timbered woods once I walk 40 miles to get to the area they gobbling at. As others have said , I would guess 600-800 yards. Usually the opposite direction of the truck. And I will not say a peep the entire morning. They just KNOW....

not in jackson county but exactly the same situation.

I've shot two that flew the river...one Tomigbee and one Alabama...500ish plus

Not in Alabama and can’t attest he landed period, let alone on the ground, but every dang bit of one-half mile across a canyon and then some in Utah.

You might want to try a giving him a peep and see if he won’t fly so far.

I called one across the Tombigbee many years ago and did manage to kill him.

I’ve seen some leave the roost tree and they may still be flying lol.

seen it a many of times and quite a few times after I climbed the mountain to try to get setup on the gobbler... usually followed with several bad words as I walk back down the mountain.

Way over yonder a good ways is usually what happens. Had a couple of HunterTurf birds come sailing by that never did land..... I think they flew all the way to Troy's front yard.

I was deer hunting last year and seen one go from tree tree over 200 yards to roost.. I think it found the perfect tree till it spotted my 6yr old boy about 30yards away

I seent one swoop down and pick off my pet hampster libberoci. On a serious note, I’ve seen them fly rivers on several occasions.

I saw 5 turkeys fly across the mouth of Clear Creek where it meets the main lake on Lewis Smith Lake yesterday. One side straight across to the other. I'm 1000% serious.

Me too!!!

Had one fly up on the roost late one evening gobbling...i beet the side of a tree with my wing an yelped real loud bout 3 times...he gobbled..this time closer...i yelped again...he gobbled a few seconds later...maybe 200yrds...i yelped again...next thing i knew..i heard wings beatn 60yrds or so an i hit the dirt...he lit in a big water oak bout 50 yrds and gobbled til black dark..i had to crawl a good ways cause i was afraid to booger him...went back the next morning and killed him off the roost..i bet all together he flew 500yrds..and he did fly down..just was the next day
