KY season so far
Posted: May 1st, 2015, 10:29 am
Well I had to unfortunately leave the woods and come back to work for the weekend but back on vacation next week. This is how my season has gone so far.
Opening day I called one in with a mouth call (which I totally suck with) and got him within 15 yards. I had a young lady with me was going to let her shoot him. At the last second he got spooked and ran about 100 yards on the edge of a wheat field. After trying for 45 minutes of getting him to come back I belly crawled along the edge of the wheat field and shot him. He had a big body but only had a 7" beard and 15/16" spurs.
The rest of my two weeks can be described in one word....boring. The birds would gobble a little on the roost and zero on the ground and leave to other properties that I don't have permission to hunt.
So far these are the only critters I have been able to kill without trying. Any time I set up somewhere I had one come in.
Well I tried to upload pics but after waiting 10 minutes for it to upload I got tired of watching the bar go back and forth.
I have killed 4 yotes in the last week. Hopefully after thinning them out some the gobblers will come back. I will be back after them starting Monday for everyday till the season closes.
