Our turkey season opened April 27th, but the weather has been wet and cold after being an exceptionally warm spring. Birds are very quiet, after coming off the roost they shut up. The only tom I seen was about 200 yds in full strut on the neighboring farm where I don't have permisson to hunt and he didn't pay any attention to my calls. Tried to get a picture but he was too far to pick out with a digital zoom.

Later in the afternoon I came upon these two feathered friends floating in a pool in the stream.
They are in the center between the two small trees.

A closer look.

It's been raining again this morning so I may try again later. Hope they get a little more vocal.

Thanks everyone for the comments....I took some self-timer pics of me and the bird but they didn't turn out very good as I was kinda rushed cause it was raining, camera getting wet, me getting wet..... so I didn't take the time I like to on pics.....I also learned you shouldn't try to get a pic of your turkeys tail fanned out in front of you if you're wearing a black shirt on a dark overcast day  :)  ...
Killdeer good observation! I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it but she sure does look very pregnant....
LONG LIVE THE LONGBOW!

my season is over after a hunt this morning. heard birds in the distance but had no luck calling them in. i hunted this turkey a few times, and even missed him at 30 yards as i spooked him. a man ended up shooting at him 2 seperate times with a shotgun and i never saw him again.
   
he was running and i got lucky and got the majority of him in the frame as he ran off.

Well there are things to hunt besides gophers and turkeys in the Spring. Took a little circle to look for bear sign this afternoon. No bears but did bring home a few horns.

Here's a few pics from my turkey hunt this morning...
View from my blind as the fog rolls in over the beaver pond in the distance:
 
Here's a few pics of a gobbler strutting about 150 yards away from my blind. I called him in later but he ignored my hen decoy and walked by at 25 yards never giving me a shot. I knew I should have put out my jake decoy this morning!
 
 
 
 
Here's a pic of one of several hens I had feed by me this morning:
 
What a great morning to be hunting...No game taken, but the enjoyment and memories make this hunt a success!
LONG LIVE THE LONGBOW!

My Saturday afternoon solo hog hunt was canceled.  Yeah, had big plans to slip back in to that area JC and I found last week.  Had to cancel due to getting hit up by a blue eyed blond that wanted to go fishing.......

Tell me, .....could you have turned her down?


   

She caught these four all by herself on a Nipa Diddy top water bait.....

   

And she wanted a pic of her holding 'The Baby' he he.....
