Turkeys in my lap ... pics
« on: May 02, 2007, 03:28:00 PM »
it's 3:10 PM  (about 15 mins ago)and I'm out in the garage changing oil in one of my motorcycles. I walk over to the tool box, look out the garage window and see 3 toms heading my way thru the front yard. So I ran in the house real quick and grabbed the camera and ran back out in the garage and squatted down behind the bike. Pretty soon I can hear toe nails on the concrete pad. First this longbeard walks by not 5 steps away.

   

then another longbeard

 

then this jake which I thought was coming INTO the garage. Couldn't have been more than 3 steps from me. Think I spooked him  LOL

   

Thinking about just hunting in the garage in the morning      :biglaugh:

Derek, besides being illegal, would not have been sporting to shoot a turkey out of the garage. I hunt for the experience. Rather sit in the woods and watch the sun come up and the woods come alive than shoot the biggest tom in the world out of the garage. It's the experience as you so aptly described in your Texas adventure.

You make it look easy to get these birds into range. Maybe I'll just change the oil in one of the vehicles in the morning seems to work for you   :bigsmyl:

Last night here here in WY I had one hen and two toms in my lap. The hen 3 feet off my left shoulder putting and yelping. The toms doing a synchronize strut at 10 yds in front of my decoy. They stayed so close together that I couldnt shoot at either one of them without possibly hitting the other. But man! They were beautiful.
