Nice pictures Steve. Really like the picture of the dog. The colors seem to just jump out at you.

Thank you, I had the time to work with the settings better than I did with the others. I wish I were better with numbers than I am, that is a major problem for me with selecting settings, I just can't remember the settings for each situation and I have to fiddle with it. I could shoot in auto but find the pictures when I get my settings right look better than they ever could in auto.

great pics. the dog one was especially good. good to see those toms out and about. one of my hunting friends just found one dead the other day with wart looking things all over its head. game warden said that it is Avian pox. sure hated seeing it. would have been a nice 2 year old next year.

Thank you for the compliments. Yes that is sad to see, the Mennonite I drive and I have speculated weather the much more frequent use of turkey & chicken dung on fields (Around here anyway, it used to just be used in private gardens now it is widespread) has introduced diseases that barn birds would be immune to but wild turkey would not be?

A few from today, it was fun watching him chase her then she'd get sick of it and turn around and chase them back and he'd start chasing her again.

Deers are on the moove like crazy these days... This morning saw a small buck with a female in the middle of a field... When the female ran away, the buck followed her, little buddy didn't wanted to loose his shot...  :TooFunny:

lol I know which I have more of.
Not on the trap line, picking up some coyote dogs a few years ago. I was waiting in the truck when they were working the trade and this Cardinal kept getting on my side mirror and either looking at himself and liking what he saw or thought he was a challenger. Every time I tried to raise the camera he would fly off or the 70-300mm lens would not focus because it was to close for the lens. He eventually flew back to the tonneau cover on the truck behind me and I used me rear view mirror to get his picture a few times. All I needed was one looking right at me and I would have a full police booking set.
