Caught these two bucks testing out their antlers this morning in preparation for mating season. It all came to an end when a flock of turkeys came passing by and a hen came over and broke up this encounter. Both bucks looked startled and fearful of the turkey. From my own experience a few years ago with a hen, I learned you don't mess with hen turkeys. If it was not for the shovel I had with me, I might not be here today.
Tried to get a picture of the passing turkeys, but they were all moving too fast and the lighting was not that good. Lucky to have taken this picture.
Great photo, thanks for sharing! Do you hunt or fish? Do you freeze or can your garden produce? I see you as coming from good pioneer stock.

Use to hunt and fish, but no more. What produce that makes it to maturity is eaten immediately, rats have been getting most of it the last two years. Neighbor down the road share their surplus and I provide them bio char.
