How to take perfect Turkey harvest photos

[JHbowhunter]

Some of you are already decent at it, a few of you excel at taking live photos, but after seeing Hammer in hip boots and a water soaked Tom this past spring, I think this post is long overdue.    I don't turkey hunt, so I can be objective..

I expect you NJWW turkey aficionados to study this tutorial and I want to see better pics next spring.

Nice but nailing a turkey to a stump for a photo. That’s like stapling a deers tongue to the roof of its mouth so it doesn’t hang out.

Although the photos did come out great.

Don't nail them to a log just hang them over it. This is not the best but I just set the timer on my phone to get the picture

Barbed wire fence on the farm works too..

LOL , I didn't have on hip boots. 

 

Its actually a pretty good way to set the birds up , but that guy needs to watch a tutorial on how to use a hammer

One of my favorite is the hanging dead

The pictures are nice, BUT, its not about the picture it about the experience which is better captured in the mind forever. Just to much work after a hard day in the field.

I saw Rocky's Turkey Photo and he sets up very well. Its all about taking time and setting it up property. The light is just as important. Light should be always behind you.

BTW the set up with turkey is very difficult if you are by yourself, taking the pic on a timer.
