Congrats! Good photos, too. Glad somebody is getting on them, birds seem to have gotten pretty scarce in my area the last few years, be glad when they have a few good hatches and we start seeing better numbers.

Yes, a very nice photo. Those vivid colors of the barred feathers mesh nicely with the curl of the stock wood.
What kind of Turkey is that?

Looks like a Merriam's wild turkey to me, but then, we don't have them in this part of B.C., yet.

Years ago, Taylor and I saw a "flock" of Merriam's Wild Turkeys walking along a highway in North Dakota.

That rifle is a real head turner. But so is that big turkey.
