Wow, what a shot!!! What lens were you using, the 100-400mm? Awesome image!
Hi Kim, yep, 100-400! I know there are wild turkeys down your way… do you get to see some from time to time? AMR

WONDERFUL snag!! Gives new meaning to ‘get off my back’. Poor little lassie.
LOLOLOL, I will always think of you when I hear “get off my back” now, Lee-Anne! I was stunned watching this huge tom with all of his weight on her! AMR

We have quite a few wild turkeys, but they are almost always faster than I am:) I have a few pics, but nothing amazing like this one!
Got lucky! I’ve visited this flock of turkeys a few times, and nothing like this before! AMR

great capture, you must have been all ready to go. From what I’ve seen they don’t exactly go the Tantric route. I keep turkeys and have never managed to get a shot like this. lol
Hi v, I happened to be shooting this flock of turkeys and was amazed at my good luck when I saw this huge tom going for it! Thanks so much for dropping by! AMR
