South Florida pics
Had a little time here at home to capture some video ect. I grabbed a few still shots off some of the film I shot opening morning. Trip was tough at best. Tough clients, birds were luke warm and we kept getting bounced around property to property so we were always hunting blind basically speaking. Did shoot some great video though. These are stills off the video.
125 yards from our set up just before daylight.
Watched this show for 40 minutes at 20 yards
Headed out Tuesday am for round 2

RE: South Florida pics
I wish I could get a clearer shot on a still. Theres always just a bit of blur in any pic I pull from a dv tape. My cohort Steve picked up a new Cannon eos so hopefully when we get back to the woods we can be grabbing some real crisp stills to go along with the video I am shooting.
I blundered big time on this video. The mich cord had a twist in it and I didnt get the plug seated all the way in when setting up in the dark . No audio!!!!! These birds gobbled 50 times in our faces too. LOL Tell ya it was just a run of mishaps and bad luck down there in FLA. Makes a guy say the heck with them turkeys, but these pics leave me second guessing. That Osceola showed me a new side of him this year.
Those native habitat cypress head birds are tough as any I have played with. Well short of a Tennessee mountain turkey. They left me with a need to return and re do my own Osceola hunt. While these orange grove toms are easy to see and pure t turkey, hunting them in natural Florida habitat was very cool. As well with the 2.5 foot high grass, flat land, and numerous cypress roosting areas, he was a tough customer. Plenty of grass to spot you from, plenty of roosts to swap up on, and bushes everywhere that hid turkeys like a blanket.
Heres a couple more pics. Hope y'all enjoy em, despite the fuzz.
Shoot HIM!
