Turkeys in the snow

Post by Rafe Hollister » December 9th, 2006, 8:20 pm

Taken by my dad on the family farm in Greene Co., IL. He was wearing blue jeans and a black Carhart jacket. He looked out in the field & saw 38 turkeys way out there. He squatted into a ditch and let them walk up to him, taking a lot of pictures on the way. As you can see, they got pretty close.

Your Dad is pretty good with that camera.

I'm trying to get him to take up turkey hunting. I'm applying for an IL turkey tag for Spring '07 and hoping he will be going, too. If nothing else, he can be our photographer.

BTW, the camera was a Sony Cybershot of some sort, in case anyone's interested.

Great pics. I agree the second is wonderful. It's worth framing or perhaps wallets. Image

I'll go enlarge them to poster-size & charge $150 each. For ODM members, it's a mere $125. I'm just a helluva nice guy.

That`s what I was hoping this was when I saw the title of the thread.
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.
But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.
