Only a mother could love
I have a week in Tennesse shooting amoungst others the Wild Turkeys going through their courtship display,Extremely ugly but very impressive birds and suprisingly approachable when in full strut, i shot this yesterday but was close today with a 200-400 and they act as if you are not there

A cracking shot how do they bottle them?

We have about twenty strutting their stuff at our place just now. Two cocks round up the hens.
