Neighborhood Turkeys

Since I was successful in bagging my turkey on the first day of the spring turkey season, the other neighborhood turkeys are less fearful of me now that I'm out of turkey tags. I was out digging a drainage ditch with my backhoe yesterday and had turkeys walk within 60 yards and watch me dig. I found this big bird dancing for the ladies near our cabin this morning. I was able to drive within 60 yards of this guy as he walked up the road to the cabin and into the woods. Of course the turkeys may also know that 60 yards is pushing the maximum distance for a 3 1/2 inch, 12 gauge turkey load.
