Post your 2013 birds here!
« on: April 23, 2013, 12:43:26 PM »
I haven't seen one of these yet,  so here goes. Let's see them hooks and beards if you got em!!

I have two Jakes from NE corner.  Taken late in the afternoon on opening day.  Cold weather and a little snow in the hills, but we we're able to be on birds all day. Finally nails these guys at about 4:00.

Nice birds guys. I have yet to notch a tag. I have let a few walk away to get hunting partners a shot that ended up not working out. I have picked out two long beards that are on my kill list after playing a long game that they won. Now these two are in my blood.

Sticky'd!!

If there's one for deer and one for elk, there might as well be one for thunderchickens.

This is a Merriam, I am told, from central Washington, my first turkey. The picture is blurry I know. Sorry, it's embarrassing putting it up here with all the other quality photos, but it's all I got:

Sure is. And they look nice even when they're blurry.

Great bird... and don't worry about your photo. If you drag a camera with you, turkeys make for GREAT filed photos, and you will get better over time at getting good shots with them. If you are interested, a great little camera is the Olympus TG (tough) 610 (they probably have a new version now). It is waterproof to to 16 ft, and shock proof to 5 ft (so you could drop it on rocks from your shoulder and not hurt it...) You loose a tiny bit of resolution, but it makes up for it in being able to stick it in your turkey vest and not worry about it being damaged... then you always have the shot.
