these are some of my turkey photos from 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Hope to make it out this year and get some before season.
I spend as much time in the blind before season as I do during.
Love taking out the Canon and tri-pod and set all morning taking pictures.
Going to spend some time filming some preseason action as well.
I also sell prints of these in 16x20 and 11x14 for 20.00 or 2 for 35.00 if anyone is interested.
If I need to move this, please let me know.
Thanks guys!
Dale

Beautiful!
Wow these are incredible!
Thank you!
Love spending hours in the blind to get those few good shots.
My goal is to get some in hunting magazines.
That last picture is awsome!!!
Try getting ahold of someone at WV game and fish.
Very nice work.
Very nice, thank you for sharing!
Those are some fine, fine photos. Wouldn't know which one to pick. Congrats on some great work!!!!
Those are great pictures and thanks for sharing them! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Great photos..... Thanks for posting !!
thanks guys!
I hope there are a bunch of birds this spring. Like to find a few places to go and get pre season pics.
Dale
Wow, just unbelievable! :happy0064:
Awesome pics. I would be framing some of those.....
Thanks
I was just asked if I would sell the rights to one for the front cover of a hunting magazine. Its a quarterly issued magazine but its been a dream of mine to have my photos published. Very excited. Maybe the start of something. Who knows.
Thanks again guys.
Dale
Really nice shots. Well done.
Qball I used one of these for my desk top back ground! Awesome photos
What camera are you using? Those a great photo's!
Beautiful pictures, thanks for posting them. :you_rock:

Some great shots...
This shot of the three birds fanning away is not the best overall shot, but this one is how you should have ended the sequence... Kinda says it all... THE END.
That's awesome stuff!!!
You want to tag along with me and be my
Personal photographer?
Outstanding! :icon_thumright:
K9, if it would pay my salary and all that, I would love to do it all the time!
Wonderful! Which general region grew these birds? I am curious about variations in coloration.
Thanks everyone. Sorry I haven't been on at all for a while. Busy, Busy year for me and the family.
Been out every free moment I can get to take more pictures. Its been an awesome spring for me here in West Virginia. I have been on three different farms setting blinds and waiting on the birds. Taken hundreds of pictures.
Also the son is getting married, daughter graduating and heading to college and almost the end of the school year for me and onto summer vacation. All this along with everyday stuff and honey-do projects, I don't have much time to even take my normal evening nap. LOL!
Hopefully I can post some new photos soon. I got a call from a guy in Tenn. who wants to buy exclusive rights to a bunch and some other folks wanting to use some for their packaging and one that's being printed on a magazine cover. That's the one I'm excited about the most. That's been a huge dream of mine.
All my pictures come from Putnam and Cabell counties here in West Virginia using my Canon 60D and 70D with a Sigma 50-500mm lens.
thanks again for checking them out guys.
Dale
WOW!! Those are great pics!
These pics are awesome!

Fantastic photos, cannot help but believe that if the right person sees them they will definitely be on the cover of some magazines
Those will sure get the blood pumping. Excellent pictures.
Those are awesome!!

Boy, if these pics don't get you fired up for spring I don't know what would. Beautiful.
I'd like to use them as screen savers, If you wouldn't mind.
Bob
some good pics there, thanks for sharing
Beautiful photos, beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing them with me.
just curious.... do you set up and call or use decoys when shooting photos as if you were hunting or do you just sit and let the birds do their thing? Great photos! id like to start shooting them with a camera instead of the gun sometimes
Can't believe I just saw these...awesome!
Not fair teasing me that way. Season not in here for another 2-1/2 weeks. Those are great. Thanks for sharing.
Those are some really nice shots!
End the essay with the three strutters walking away next time though (i.e. the end)....
Wow! Those are very nice.
