It helps if it has big spurs.

Bucksandbows took so many pictures of my first turkey and they were all great. They were posted on here due to issues I was having with anti hunters and my bear picture. But my favorite picture is the turkey over the shoulder walking back up the trail to the truck

I will definitely try the photo set-up from the video but I like to use a woodpile too.

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.

It is about the memories but that’s what pictures help preserve. In 30 years when you look back on the day you shot your first gobbler it’s nice to have a good quality picture to look back on. When I was a little kid I used to LOVE when dad would take out the photo album with all his harvests and hunting associated photos. I think it helped get me into the hunting as well.

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.

I take 95% of my pics with a timer, and it takes a few tries to get it right. but its WELL worth the extra effort

Same here but its not easy with Turkey, they flap too much even when dead,  and yes I take several shots as well and then maybe one is good:-)

Here's some more,

I like to see pics other then the 'assume the position ' pics of the hunter kneeling behind the spread tail feathers as if he's about to something funky with it.

Sometimes the best pics don't even have to show the bird.

Don't forget the hairdryer and feather comb, too.

This was a giant #28 bird from this past year, I definitely got accused of trying to get funky with it from my Facebook following. Lol
