KY Turkeys are ON FIRE!!
« on: May 08, 2011, 01:27:00 PM »
FINALLY, after monsoon after monsoon, the turkeys were cooperating in my neck of the woods this morning - the LAST day of the KY spring season!  I took a 2 year old on opening day, then spent 2 weeks dodging thunderstorms and twisters.  I was out of state all of last week and only had this morning - the last day, to try one more time.  The big boys were prowling, gobbling their heads off, coming to calls, and attacking my decoys. My first arrow missed this guy but he was so worked up that he came back in for another round.  BIG MISTAKE:^)

I hear you Gary, great job!! I have been on a dry streak, but ended that today, last day, with a #23, 10 & 1/2 inch beard, 1 inch spurs worn down to round nubs at 20 yards. The hunting is just getting good, gobblers have been henned up, and weather bad, saw a bunch on the way home with my bird.

Fine bird.  The kind all eastern turkey hunters hope to get a crack at.  A seasoned bird for a seasoned hunter.  Fitting I think.  Congrats!  

By the way the birds here in MS had closed lips all year until our last week.  I also saw 5 bucks with headgear chasing one doe on opening day March 15th.  The Crappie never really started biting good either.  Strange year.
