Wild Turkey Shot

I haven't seen any wild turkey shots here I just got this a few weeks ago and thought I would share.
Old Tom Turkey in strut. I think it is a pet on the ranch next door but he was courting a couple hens out on a county road.

nice shot,

that's a rio grande wild turkey. he may be hanging around the neighbors but he's not a pet. that's just what they do.

well done!

Classic pose and beautifully captured---well done!

That's a really nice shot.

Very nice. Hope to be out taking some turkey shots next week myself if the weather ever decides to cooperate around here.

Tim.....You really nailed that one....very nice shot.

Thanks for the kind words Guy's

I really like shooting "photographing" the Rio Grande Turkey and plan a visit to Sonora Texas to photo more on my sisters land where they have over 100 of them nesting "roosting" on their place. In the next 2 weeks. Yup their closer to the Rio Grande like 75 miles from Mexico.

Beautiful shot, well done

Awesome shot

Great shot, the pose, exposure and colors all work together. Well done.

Lovely image with great pose, details, colors, and habitat. Excellent!

I think we in Alabama call that a "Wall Hanger"

That's way GOOOOOOOD!!

nice shot Hutch he must be an old tom with that snood I like my Wild Turkey at 101 proof.

Looks like a tough old bird. Maybe 4 hours in the oven instead of 3.

Beautiful capture Tim.
