He scouts locations to find where the birds roost and builds a camouflage blind made from tree branches. From local farmers and conservationists, he discovers that the best times to photograph wild turkeys are early morning and late afternoon. Hidden in the blind, Doug captures amazing portraits of gobblers and hens through a telephoto lens. You will learn why the key to capturing memorable images of wild turkeys is to know their habits.
