I’ve witnessed a deer and a turkey moving together down one tree line and then another and then returning. They Covered a distance of about three hundred yards. The doe and the turkey were never more than ten feet apart. It looked like they were pals. Perhaps they were taking advantage of the deer’s superior sense of smell and the turkey’s superior eyesight. This was on the edge of Northport, Alabama near the Black Warrior River.
I believe it.
There are lots of videos of animals displaying cooperative/mutually beneficial behavior, if you look for them.
Crows and Ravens are probably the pros at it.
There are more things in heaven and earth.....

I think,the turkey was stalking the deer after hearing about how delicious venison is
Turkeys eat ticks. Maybe it was eating what the deer was shedding.
