Then I switched over to the Ruger rimfire and shot a batch of hanging steel plates I set at 40 yds. That was a fun time, but even with a bolt action rifle you can burn up 100 rounds real fast. Good this I had plenty of rimfire ammo with me.
Packed up my gear and started driving out our range access road. The range is about 1/3 mi from the main road. Our club property extends about 100 yards past the gate so we maintain it. They keep the grass mowed about 20 yards wide on the one side and let the grass grow tall about 15 yards before the wood line.
Just casually walking along in the mowed area was a flock of about 15-20 turkeys. I've never see that many birds in one spot before. As I approached I tried to get a picture with my cellphone, but they turkeys were not very cooperative. The flock turned and marched right into the tall grass along the wood line. I took a few pictures but it's almost impossible to pick them out from the tall grass. Anyway it was fun to see that many birds together in one area.
