They are everywhere and as a result; we fail to fully understand the question, how far away can you see a candle at night. Because the earth is round, its surface curves out of sight at a distance of 3.1 miles, or 5 kilometers. Now with normal eyesight our visual acuity extends far beyond the horizon. If the Earth was flat, or if you were standing high on a mountain, you could see bright lights hundreds of miles in the distance. On a dark night, you could even see a candle flame flickering up to 30 mi. (48 km) away. Because most of us live in areas where we are used to seeing lights all the time, we fail to realize how far away they can be seen.
When setting up on turkeys before daylight, don't try to get too close to a roost. Opinions vary on what the proper distance is but as a general rule, try and get within 100 - 150 yards if it's possible.You're basically trying to get as close as possible to the bird without scaring it off the roost. The closer you are, the fewer the obstacles that turkey will have to come around to get to you.f you have found a gobbler that is located on a hillside or part way up a ridge, try and climb the hill or ridge and call from a position above the tom or at least on the same level. Turkeys are not as likely to come downhill to a call.
