Turkeys do not have a sense of smell,,,,,

matty to answer your question, just like fowl they are allways scratching and diggin for food, they will eat anything including pebbles ,the fact you might have seen them do it and they found a piece of corn was just coincidence, ,if you ever go pheasant hunting or buy a live chicken from a farm when you cut them you will find pebbles in them....

and yes i buy my chicken, rabbits, ducks live from a farm

 

Wingshooter if i remember correctly... they'll eat peddles to help "diguest" the food they eat, since they dont really have a stomach.

No doubt they have some sort of sence of smell but it is not equivaliant to a vulture. A vulture can smell dead stuff from something like 2 miles away.

 

I use Stouffer's stove top stuffing. Chicken flavor works best!

i only said they ate them i didnt say why...and no they really cant smell,, not enough to know theres a turkey on the other side of the ridge, or to know theres food under snow


they rely on hearing and sight

LOL just busting bud

 

If a wild turkey had a sense of smell(like a deer for example), it would almost be unkillable.They can be very wary birds...
