Nice pics. These birds are sure fun to watch. And the ones that haven't been shot at before don't seem real concerned about people. Thanks for sharing.Jason

They fun to watch until they get into your garden and then you have to show them who's boss. They can sure rip things up with those BIG feet.

I have a bow, and could be there quicker than mac. I would keep your family safe from those dangerous creatures. I agree about when animals attack. You can't be too careful.

I was watching a tom for quite a while this weekend. I'd call, he'd call. Pretty fun.

Right now, the hens are probably nested up and the Toms may be getting a little active again searching for another couple of hens. Funny - usually during the opening weekend and when the Toms are just going nuts, I've been able to bang on the truck door and the Toms would gobble back...or just a simple "gobbble, gobble" with any calls gets 'em going too. I ahd my daughter in stitches opening weekend when a Tom was in a field going nuts and without the use of a handmade call, I was doing my best "gobble" impersonation and that Tom was making sure he was the loudest and proudest.
