I agree, you need to check your game laws. I think it is a misdemeanor to hunt turkeys with dogs in Alabama. Here in Wisconsin, you can use dogs in the fall for turkeys, either to point them(yep, they hold pretty tight) or to flush and scatter them in order to call them back. Turkeys have a lot of scent and once a dog figures out that they are hunting them, they can get over whelmed if not easily controlled. They also will want to hunt them when you are hunting something else. It would be something I would tend to use an older more experienced dog for.
