But then my main concern would be over spooking any deer and ruining my chances at a trophy buck or even a doe.
THAT's why I don't do it.

UNLESS the squirrel is chattering at me, giving away my presence, AND it is close enough for me to hit it in the head with my .22 revolver loaded up with very quiet Aguila Super Colibris - about 8 yards or less. In my 9-shot .22 revo, I carry 5 or 6 Super Colibris, and 3 or 4 plain .22 lrs, for finishing shots on large game.

Now a turkey has a lot of good-tasting meat, so I'd definitely take a shot with my main rifle or a .22lr to get one (IF legal / in season) - I'll take my chances with scaring the deer for a half hour or so, for a good turkey.
