There's a reason I lug my camera pack to the truck every morning......

I was about 50 feet away, and she didn't really seem too concerned about me. We first spotted her laying down chewing cud, so a half hour later I went and grabbed the camera. She finally stood up, lulled around munching on a couple branches, then decided the grass was greener in the neighbors yard. I took 169 frames over 10 minutes from 3 locations.

You're fortunate that you can take your camera with you. I work in a facility that doesn't allow cameras inside, and it gets too hot to leave my camera gear in the car during the day.

Today it bit me hard; as I was driving home I stopped to watch a flock of wild turkeys feeding in a field along the roadway. I pulled to the side of the road an turned the car off, and several of them put their guard down after a short while and came very close to the car.

But why kid myself? If I'd had any camera, as soon as I stopped te car they would have taken wing an been out of there so fast.... :(

I have a hard time photographing wild turkeys, usually because I'm laughing so hard. As soon as I raise my camera, they start scrambling away as qickly as their little legs can carry them, in a group, tripping over trees and stumps and trampling each other. Lots of chaos. I guess they get shot at so often that they think the camera is a rifle.

Well, using either one can be called "shooting." :D
