Wild Turkeys and 7 young babes - Several shots

ksteem (65)in #myhuntingfishing • 6 years ago

Surprised by 2 Wild Turkey Hens and 7 young turkeys in the the driveway yesterday.
Went to take the trash out and when I opened the front door, there they were 10 feet away.
They looked at me, I looked at them, and then I slowly backed into the house.

I ran upstairs to grab my camera, and by that time they were making it around the side of the house into the backyard and woods.

I got a couple shots there on the side, near the driveway.

Then, I had to go back inside and out to our deck so as not to spook them away. Here we can count the 7 babies.

Hunting Grasshoppers!

and finally, off into the woods.

First time for me too! Youngest I've ever seen before were 3 times that size! Good to see such a nice size group, guessing each hen had 3-4 poults?

It's funny how you can spend so much time in the woods and still never see certain things. Lol

These pictures are awesome. It might have been a tough job to capture them without scaring them off.

Thanks @preetika yes I was doing my best tippy toe ninja mode around other bushes and trees to not scare them off.

Yes, first time I've seen any that little running around in the while. Looks like both hens had a nice healthy hatch. Now if we can just keep the coyotes away!
