This is my best trail camera picture of the spring. I was disappointed to only have eight pictures on the card, but this was one of them.

Great pic. Now go get him. You could have one of the first before and after Gobbler pics sequences. Then mount him up in that pose.

There is a lot of public land around me to hunt and try to kill a turkey, so I leave this area alone. I've killed enough turkey that killing one more isn't that important to me. To me getting a real nice trail camera picture is almost as nice as shooting the turkey. Seems that I get about as much pleasure out of seeing the turkey as I do shooting them.

I'll usually put out corn during the winter and into spring and keep a couple of trail cameras in the area to see what comes by. The turkey that were coming had just about disappeared except for three or four of them and I was getting a lot of racoon/deer pictures so I stopped putting anything out for them about two weeks ago. Checked my camera this morning for the first time in over a week and had this picture.

Guess I need to start putting something out for them again.
