Weekends with the turkeys

Recommended Posts

My hunts with the shotgun don't start until May but I've been getting my fix in the woods the last two weekends. These photos didn't turn out very good as I was snapping them on the digital from my waist level so wasn't sure if I'd even get the bird in there. I've got some pix of other birds that were really close but turned out blurry. Beats the heck out of sitting home...

Re: Weekends with the turkeys

Yes Redbeard, that was a huge field and it was definitely a foggy morning. I may try video tape this weekend as the digital isn't doing it with no zoom and I plan on picking up a new 35mm someday soon. There were 3 other big toms out there as well and it was right across a river from a suburb. Last few times I've seen...one coyote in the field with turkeys, pheasants cackling quite a bit, deer crossing field with turkeys out there, and saw a hawk take down a woodduck. It's a nice way to spend a morning and only 15 minutes from home. Usually back at the house by 8am so it works out good. These birds aren't hunted as far as I know so I'm not infringing on anyone's hunting and it's good practice. Are you still hunting in Georgia or have you tagged out??
