Dan, I love this shot and would love to know the details of the shot like how you set up for it and where if you wouldn't mind. Were you in a blind?

This was in SE Pa on a small private nature preserve. The turkeys are wild but but not hunted on the property. I wasn't in a blind as the turkeys are not as spooky as most though some days you wouldn't know it. It depends on how many hens are nearby. This was a really good day as a home on the property provides feed nearby and the hens weren't on nests yet so the gobblers were moving around a bit making photos possible.

The season for them opened Saturday and as pressure on them at the edges of the property increases they will get more and more difficult to photograph.

This is a quiet image that is inviting because of the layers of color, texture, and light. Very nice. 8)
