RE: Photo Essay - Breeding/Mating - X- rated! :)
Re the photos' JW posted. A friend of mine took these from a home made blind that he placed in a rye patch back of his home. The season opened on the 20th, and believe it or not, the only gobbler he has seen up close since taking the pictures was a gobbler he set up under, unknowingly, that was on the roost. The bird flew down at daylight and away from him, never saw the bird again.
This man is a good turkey hunter and is just about to go crazy because of not being close to one since opening day. Needless to say, I have rubbed a little salt into the wounds, no, I'm lieing, I've rubbed a lot of salt in and even kicked a little dirt on him. Don't ya'll go feeling sorry for him either, cause I'll assure you, he has rubbed some in on me over the last 30 years.
He's also a good photographer.
