Turkey Pics please...................

[Skychief]

We are soon to have our Fall turkey gun season here in Indiana. I would like to see any pictures of "Blackpowder Turkeys" you may have to share. To me, blackpowder arms and the American Wild Turkey go together like ham and eggs. Show 'em if ya got 'em!!! :bow:

I haven't tagged any yet this fall but here's a few pics from spring and other fall hunts.

Nice looking double and great looking birds. :thumbsup:

One bit of advice though...

Always wear the hat! :rotf: :rotf: :hatsoff:

The Doc is out now. :v

Ah yes Fossil Hunter.....just what I was hoping to see in this thread! I remember these pics and thank you for posting them here. What state did these come from? Merriams, right?

Always wear the hat!

Ouch ! :haha:

Yes, Merriams from Nebraska. I'm very fortunate to also have Rio's and Easterns where I hunt. A real mixed bag. :thumbsup:

Fred & Wilma, our Naragansetts.

If you have very good eyes you may spot the tiny Araucana (chicken) chick she hatched from an egg that a free-range hen put near her two years ago. Turned out to be a rooster . . . and then soup.

When I need a turkey dinner it is hatchet work and not blackpowder, I'm afraid. And they come to me. :haha: (Actually, the birdseed wreath we hung from the porch railing).

A coyote nailed Wilma this Spring but we successfully incubated three of five eggs she left us . . . so likely two for the freezer.

Or not.

I kind of like a few turkeys around. Reminds me of work. :wink:

Thats pretty cool to see Naragansetts up there Stumpy. Theres a farm just down the road the Casey Farm that goes back to the 1700's and they sell everyone they grow every year here, they are highly wanted here for Thanksgiving.
