Todays turkeys...

[wooly]

I went for a hike today and got on some more gobblers!
I heard one gobble on his own as soon as the snow stopped and the sun peaked out. I found an old downed tree to hide behind, so I quick set out my rubber chicken,lol
I gave a few excited calls and I heard some serious double gobbling coming my way, so I got tucked in and waited.

Birds were on a dead run to my decoy. First to show up was 5 hens, and then a jake and a longbeard stopped by for a little dance off before they moved up the hill to strut and gobble. They left the ladies behind, and I literally had hens within 5ft of me for about 10 minutes straight.
I'm think I'm kinda starting to get the hang of this spring turkey stuff!

Heck, I even found another antler!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before all the turkey got a chance to leave the area, this little deer showed up and practically kissed me.

Here's tonight's painting I started wooly, I like your pics better so I will most likely start on one of them before finishing this one.

Hey Doewhacker, I tried to get you something with some more color today.... this is the best I could come up with!

Make sure you send me some framed canvases of all these freakin' birds, ok?

Wooly now that you can use a gun instead of the camera, any luck?

Actually I've been using my bow so far this year but haven't been able to connect yet.

If I used my gun, I'd already be back to using my camera,lol.

Lots of action the first two days of season, but the weather has kind of screwed them up here this weekend.

I know this thread is a month old but I'm happy to see someone else on here that paints!

Yes it is a hobby that I have gotten back into lately. I do ink drawing and water color as of right now but plan on trying some acrylic on canvas in the future. Right now I have about 100 ideas back logged in my mind that need to come out, lol
