Same Old Picture

[Flatsnbay]

How come everyone (including myself) takes the same old picture of posing with a turkey on the ground with the tail fan spread out? Looking over all the turkey hunting pics on social media, every picture is of the hunter on the ground holding the tail fan open. There really isn't a variation of anything different in each picture. I realized that I couldn't even tell the difference looking at the pics of the turkeys that I've harvested over the years.

Help me with some ideas and examples of how to pose with your turkey other than the same old picture.

Hung mine from the ladder to a tree stand that the land owners son had built.

It's true! The only thing I notice is the fact I'm older and getting heavier in each photo.
I will say I do enjoy seeing the younger hunters with their big smiles holding their turkey with the fan open as its something very special for them.
Somebody recently posted a black and white photo of his or her bird hanging by the wall of the cabin which I enjoyed and thought was classy.
I did enjoy the three photos that were posted. The weight sign with the turkey hanging was a nice touch as well as laying on the tailgate of the truck. Steve your photo with the turkey hanging by the old ladder is cool. Maybe take a photo of the turkey by the tree you were sitting at or laying over a log. Something different!
In my opinion comedy photos are not needed nor appreciated as we should show respect for the bird we so love to hunt.

Great pics and ideas. I remembered seeing a pic of a hunter walking down a trail with the bird slung over his back. The back drop scenery made it cool and different. I wish I could find it and post it.

Every season I take various photos of the ones I get but this is the staple. First one is my daughter's first exposure to a turkey, the next is my daughter with a pair myself and my dad doubled on both of those she was 9 months old, the next one is one my daughter was sitting in my lap when I shot that gobbler, she was almost 2. The next was a gobbler I got when she was almost 3, the next one we added a brother and she was almost 4, last years photo her brother was a year and a couple months old and she was going on 5. This year if I'm fortunate enough to get one, it'll be her at almost 6, her brother at 2 and her baby brother at almost 1.

I carry a camera with me and try to capture some of the memories that are maybe unique to the hunt.
Most are not taken back at the truck...except for that one at the jeep. Dig the mud...eh?

Here are a few. Got plenty more, a lot with just the bird and a call or some other special item.
I chose these because of the OP talking about the classic pose with bird & hunter.

I like to take different photos. Some of guys I've called in birds for.

I typically do the same thing every picture, but what sets each one apart is the background.  I try to take it roughly in the same spot or area I shot it, which is typically pretty scenic where I'm at.  To some it may just be a background of pine trees, but I can remember the details of that hunt and location when I see the picture.  I also carry a small tripod with a cell phone mount in my vest.

All nice photos....

I like just the gobbler and gun photos sometimes..
