More Struttin...
A Scenic...
...and a backlit.
Two different gobblers just a few acres away. What you can't see is 2 jakes apiece, strutting their stuff also.
You can identify jakes by their shorter beards.
On another note, getting close to turkeys is not an easy task. Turkeys have great eyesight, and just a small flinch in the field will send them running. All of these shots are taken out my car window, which is tough on its own. You stop your car to shoot, and they run. These guys were semi-cooperative because of the distance between us, although the backlit one was about as close as I have ever gotten. A moment and a few frames fired off is about as good as it gets with my tactics, so I make them count with a steady shutter if I'm lucky...
