Not nearly as hard to get close to when they have "other" things on their minds.

Great shots! Turkeys are just down right fun to try to get close too wether you get any shots or not.

It's that mating season again and all of the Toms are strutting their stuff.
Very nice shots By the way.

Awesome captures , I can never get close to these guys ,but like you said they had other things on their minds, timing is everything as they say. Great stuff must have been quite a site to see.

It looks like quite the jake convention. You've made a bird look great that has a face only a mother could love.

Great shot of 3 blown up turkeys. I can't wait to get out there and shoot them with a couple of different things, including my camera ;)

Great shots. I have been able to get that close once (didn't have a camera) at Ute Park, New Mexico. They were sort of accustomed to people there. When I have been out in the wilds of the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico where they rarely see people, they keep their distance.

I used to live on a hill that backed up to open space and these guys were a constant presence. They're great until they poop and your dog rolls in it.:rolleyes:

Great shot of 3 blown up turkeys.

I think there is four Tom's there. Three heads showing, but I think I see four tail fans.

Nice shots:D
