woolybear Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think most of you all know by now, I'm not a real big turkey hunter dude.... so I was super surprised to call in this ol' boy today! He gobbled on his own from the field above me, so I unloaded the fakies from my pac and started looking for a place to hide. First place I noticed was the neighbors treestand...., so up, up, and away I went! I broke out the box cutter and let a few clucks and yelps rip, but he never responded. 15 minutes later he gobbled on his own again, and this time I knew he was coming! I could hear him spitting and drumming before I could see him. He gave my jake deke a good flogging and never looked twice at my hen 3ft behind him. My lens focus started messing up on me, so I missed a lot of the action shots of the can of whoop azz he opened up on my fake, but it was a good show to watch anyhow! You will all have to take my word for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Great pics. They are a great success story for game management in the USA. Love to hunt them and share the experience with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 nice pictures .... so what were the settings that you took the picture with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks guys, glad you liked! dbhunter- I was in apperature priority at F7.1 and ISO400- SS 1/500-800. Under the conditions, I probably should have dropped down to ISO 100 or 200 but I forget to reset my settings for the situation sometimes.

dbHunterNY Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Cool yea I initially thought 7.1 was high but I see a lot of twigs would be in the way if it wasn't. I've got a pretty nice Nikon that I should use more and learn to use better. Always cool to see what pictures were taken with what settings. Thanks for sharing!
