Turkeys in the hardwoods

[alloutdoors]

Snuck out this morning to do some scouting/photography. Got in close to a huge winter flock but they went the other way onto posted property when they hit the ground. Eventually a few hens drifted back my way and past my blind.

 

 

 

 

They brought their boyfriend, but he wasn't quite as cooperative about having his picture taken.

Hammering. I was there Friday and Saturday too and they gobbled a few times from the roost and went silent when they hit the ground. With the warmer weather today they were going nuts.

Great pics.

I am going t be filming a couple of hunts for the first time this year.

Thanks to my wonderful children I have a new digital camcorder this year. I did a little practice filming this year in Georgia. No luck with the birds but learned a little bit about the camera. Great quality, great sound and easy to use on auto focus. I am really looking forward to May 1.
