Nice shots. I've seen a few in the wild but was never close enough to get a decent shot. I did though have to slow down once to prevent running over some while they proceeded to cross the road.

Nice set. I really like picture 1. Picture two would be so much stronger if you didn't crop off the tail.

Thank you too , your comments are appreciated . I try to not justify , mistakes.
As in photo #2 . but was a long lens and too close to the subject. However , the Beard and the Spurs ,are what "Scores " a Turkey ,and If a hunter sees that photo.."Like in an outdoors magazine " He will really like It. I absolutely Agree with you though...It would Have been much stronger .
