Kentucky Turkey Down
« on: April 13, 2013, 03:00:00 PM »
Left the decoys at home this morning opting to sit in a blind along a route that a big group of birds have been burning up. No hens showed with the lead longbeard and no gobbling heard after pitching down. I did, however, manage to lure this lone bird into range mid-day by calling once on a box call and then scratching in the leaves after I spotted him at 100 yards as he searched for what made the hen call on the box.  I usually have to work a lot harder to tag a bird but I'm not complaining:^)

Congrats on a true trad trophy!

Our season doesn't come in until the 22nd. I would love to do the same on "opening day".

Real nice pic too.

Congrats Gary. Great bird. No luck for me or Charlie this morning. Not even a gobble on the property we were hunting. Oh well! We'll stay with them though. Thanks for posting. God bless.
