Foraging for food can be difficult at times. With all the recent snowstorms, these strange bedfellows were doing their best to locate a meal. The hunting seasons are closed for both deer and turkey at the present time, so they felt safe they weren't the dinner reservations.
I was returning home from a basketball game when I spied them in the open field. You seldom see them together, so I knew a photo was in order. I found it interesting there were six turkey and six deer. You can see the beards on five of the turkeys so they are most likely Gobblers. I suppose there could be a Bearded Lady in the mix. The deer have probably shed their antlers by now, but they appear to be does. The turkeys scratch around for food in the snow as do the deer. I suppose they were helping each other with their dinner reservations. It is not your gorgeous close up, but I think it does tell its own story. Possibly a candidate for the current contest.

It would make a very good entry Tick. I feel for the animals at times like this, this really is a unusual capture, you were in the right place at the right time. Tigz♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Excellent timing and keen eye, showing us a beautiful scene of 6 deers & 6 turkeys. I'm with Sandi, I feel really bad for the poor wild animals, we even have more snow.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE ♥ Skates ♥
It's quite a shot, Tick. Our deer are having a rough time of it this winter. Blue and I see them on practically every walk. They like the Cedar trees on a ridge above our place, but they can only reach so high... and the cold has been relentless.

Do I hear.."Deer Jerky and Turkey 4 sale"? Sounds good to me. That is a very interesting a cool sight to see, Tick. Excellent capture.

It's certainly a rare photo opportunity to find so many of both species together. Good eye TicK.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
They are so at ease. They must have seen that you didn't carry your riffle, or someone else must have told them that they aren't meant to be present at the dinner table (now!! LOL).
I like to agree with you OFT (Owd Fella Tick) that it's a rare occasion to see them together in the open field. Glad that you 'shoot' them, with your camera this time.
Could be a good entry for the contest indeed.
Regards, Cornelius.
PS: did your grandson won the basketball match?

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured">
The snow covered ground makes them look very conspicuous. It is hard for all animals when the weather is like that. Good image and it will be a good entry Tick.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Well I say my friend this is a unique looking capture and with this scene have six of both creatures is amazing let alone sharing in piece there food.Great capture and stunning composition too.This shot reminded me of my rat and pigeon photo that were side by side eating grain .There is still lots e could learn from nature and love how it as black and white at the front and beautiful sun lite colours in in the wooded area.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Very well done Tick and I too believe a good entry for the contest - I never would have put the two together without your visual proof.

Great image Tick and well spotted. The contrast between the dark animals and the snow is brilliant.

Like others, I too feel alot of empathy for the animals and how they must suffer at times...on another note, an interesting capture that makes for a unique contest entry...best of luck.

Dear Customer Service: First of all, you should know I am typing this with my middle finger...
The winter is often a desperate game of survival for wildlife, while the snow is a major negative they can take some comfort in the fact the hunting season closed.
A good observation on your part Tic, & a fine photograph, it's just as well you regularly carry your camera. (o:

So I take it that the house specialty is a drum stick wrapped in venison. Or do the stuff the deer with turkeys and deep fry the whole thing? A nice capture of the local wildlife, TicK. Best of luck in the contest.

Isn't is cleaver of them to keep up with the dates of hunting season. Great shot Tick.

Life is a Constant Audition
I say anytime you have an image with Turkeys and Deer together....Approved!
Sorry to see Wildlife suffer this way. Thanks for sharing a Great Nature Shot that does tell a Story Tick.
I could see this as an entry.....Best of Luck if you do enter it.
