The Right Strut


Well today , the wild turkey kingdom finally kicked off! Caught a group of hens feeding in this freshly clear cut timber edge. I started panning around and sure enough, a pair of wild Rio Grande gobblers were strutting their stuff! This is what drives me..so many hours afield for moments like this. Who needs TV? :)

  1. When everything comes together on a spring turkey hunt, nothing beats it! I love the sound the tail feathers make when a gobbler suddenly "pops" them into strut. And when you're close enough to hear feathers shake, you know you're experiencing sights and sounds that most people will never see or hear. Great shot!
