Fantastic!1  Good luck on your upcoming hunts.  Can't wait for another nice set of pictures to get me fired up for May 3rd.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Thanks for the compliments everybody.

Check out the dark fan on this bird in the middle right. Think he's got some Eastern in him? We're in way west Nebraska with mostly Rio's and a few Merriams, definitely lots of hybrids so it's hard to say. But this is the darkest fan I've ever seen in this area.
 

The bird on the right is the one that I killed.

What is your camera setup?  Those are EXCELLENT photos.
That is a fact Steve O. I have hunted lots and lots in Wisconsin and know first hand the difference. There were times on Thursday morning where, literally, no less than 30 toms all sounded off at once. There was hens fighting, turkeys chasing eachother, a billion hens all yelping all going on at the same time. It is so cool!

I used a Panasonic FZ20 camera. It's about 6 years old or so, I'm always happy with the pictures it takes.
