We went for a ride today to look for Turkeys. Man were we ever rewarded!! :biggrin:
There was approximately 64 Turkeys in this flock. They started moving away from us when we stopped. They were just off the road when we came over the crest & seen them at the last second. This pic is only part of them. There was 4 Toms strutting & 1 Jake strutting. There may have been more but that was all that were strutting.

Whaaaat whaaaaaat is there something in my hair? :laf:
Looks like a nice area. Can ya hunt it? :eyebrow:
We all know where Glen is going to try to get permission to hunt turkeys this year. Neat pics. Looks like the Robin might have made a small deposit on the forehead there.
Jerry
:laf: :laf: That is a funny picture.
The Turkeys I took the pic of & the cow are on 750 acres I hunted up til last spring when new people took over management of it. The other 60+ birds are on land that is in a trust & there is no hunting allowed outside of the immediate Family.
BTW-- These aren't even close to the BEST pics we got today!! :nono: :nono:

Then I won't bother commenting until we see the good ones, EH. :readthis:
OK, I saw the gooddddd ones and am quite impressed with them all :bowingsmilie:. Up here we'd of moved that bird off the cow at up to 300yds just for practice :wink:. Thanks for sharing your drive with me. :highclap:
Wow! You sure have a lot of turkeys in your country. Seeing those pics I'm such a western rifleman I'd sure druther shoot their heads off from across the field with a tack driving rifle than mess with a shotgun.
I'm glad you like em Barry!! You're one of the reasons I post em up here. I never know what I might post that other folks never get to see. Especially since I'm not sure about how well the red fox are doing in your area. :shrug:
Okanagan-- We have a very healthy population here. Until season opens anyhow. :laf: :laf: I agree I wouldn't mind pounding one at 135yds with the HMR but calling them suckers into just a few yards is,, for me anyhow,, the ultimate rush!! I'm high for months after shooting one!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
Diane & I are glad you guys like the pics too. :biggrin:
Nice pictures, haven't seen that much green in a long time.
"13 Hens & 1 Tom" Reminds me of my younger days :eyebrownod:
:laf: :laf:
It's all green around here now John. The thing we have in common is the fact that in your pics I see more blue skies in a couple pics than I see here in some months so we're even huh?? Thank You as well. :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
You dreamed a lot as a kid John? :shrug:
:laf:
More cool pix! Thanks Glen. :biggrin:
Thanks VV. I think we have more fun with that camera than we do the hunting rigs anymore. :nono: :nono:
Shhhhhhh! :nofgr:
Don't let that get out or everybody will be doing it. :pout:
:laf:
I hate having a Kodak moment & no camera. :rolleye:
I'm with you Glen. Having a gobbler up close and personal, then gobble or drum almost gives me heart failure. What a rush!
Thanks for the pics. You got the fever goin' in me.
Heck I like when folks post up the pics of their area. I prolly won't get to visit a bunch of the World so it's nice to see what others are able to enjoy. I would have been heart broken for Diane if we wouldn't of had a camera when we seen those Fox. :wink:
Glad I could help Mike!! Best of Luck in your Gobbler season!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
