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.

Great bird!

Us guys from the east are used to maybe a group of 3 or 4 birds; it is had to explain the noise and confusion there is when hunting turkeys out in the plains states.

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.

Way to go Tom!  Mohawk scores!         What kind of blind are you using?

A Double Bull T5, one of the old ones, the good ones. Not as impressed with the newer Double Bulls...
