...well ill say that anything with its own mind decides what it wants to do on any given day.
Ive sat direcrly under roost trees, didint spook the turks, and had them pitch down very close to me and just walk off in the opposite direction, no matter how much calling I did.
I think they had their "turkey do" list for the day, and got on with it right off the roost: visit, henny penny, jake, and ole tom on the other field, get to that other field for some primo eats, and water, etc etc. gotta get a move on, work out the stiffness from over night. Just couldn't call them off their determined way. It happens.
Perhaps find out where they were going, and set up there or along the way to the strut zone if they roost there frequently.
Dont take their schizo nature personally. They dont know theyre on the lower levels of brain power, thereby sending your gray matter into fits trying to figur em. Theyre doing what they do
Good luck.
