Turkeys and cattle

Anyone do alot of turkey hunting around cattle? that's one of the unfortunate things about my hunting area, I have to compete with cows. many times they win. ha

Do turkeys spook easily by cows? or are they generally easy going around them? will they come out of woods if cows are visible?

any help would be appreciated.

Cows usually aren't a problem, deer will sometimes spook turkeys though for some reason.

Cattle won't spook turkey. Foxes, bobcats, and coyotes will definitely.

Good deal, now the problem is trying to sneak past the cattle without 50 of them following me. I swear I've never seen more curious cows in my life. But when we need to move them, they act worse than deer!
