Glad you are finding enjoyment in them Ken. I will keep posting the through Turkey season.Heck ours doesn't start util the 23rd and I know some start May 1.
Mickey,
Thanks for the pics! Hopefully we'll actually get some spring weather by the 23rd!!
I think ol' Tom's a little sweet on her! :)
Mick you gotta have the best back yard in the world. Can I come live with you? I really don't eat much... just ask Shell. On second thought don't ask her anything.<>< :saywhat:
LOL..
I love watching wildlife Frank (and obviously photographing it)
We bought this property because of the numerous deer and turkey in this valley and built our house back off the road in the middle of it.
The white arrow points to the house and the yellow arrow points to the little field (our back yard)that I take all the turkey pictures in.

So you see how easy it is to walk out the back door and 30 steps later we are into the woods and hunting.
You guys just see the deer and turkey pics, but all the song birds, flowers, bugs, and small game gets photographed too.LOL
Hey guess what just walked in the yard? 5 jakes and 3 longbeards (no hens) Can you tell it's been raining? LOL..First toms in almost a week.Absolutely no strutting though.

Awesome Mickey! Maybe with this weather you might still have a couple around by the time the season opens...... :pray:

That ole boy sure has some hooks on him. I'd have to carry my bow and a couple arrows while mowing the grass.
Day or two late and a dollar short. Besides, he's in a "no hunting" area.
This bird, that is--

Thank goodness for the Ferret and his turkey pictures! I was out in the rain from 5:30 'til noon and I didn't come home with anything to photograph. Now I see why, they're at Mickey's house.........
Isn't that the way it usually goes? :biglaugh:
You know I've only seen 2 road killed turkeys in my life. Guess they're pretty good at sprinting across the road between cars (at least compared to deer..and coons LOL)
Too Cool, Turkey season doesn't start until the end of May here.
