Title: My two Ky Turkeys 2011
Post by: BIGBOB on April 22, 2011, 08:46:29 PM
I was fortunate enough to get my turkeys the first two days I hunted.(http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo87/tamtam_bush/Bob/2turkey2011-1.jpg)This turkey crossed the road in front of me as I was driving home from hunting another spot. He was by himself, so I drove to a field a quarter mile away, and called him in. He never gobbled. I was lucky hwe was by himself.

This bird was killed opening morning, I hadnt heard anything, and at 9:00 I yelped and hens answered on the ridge above me. I kept calling the hens and he flew down 30 yrds away. He never gobbled.

I meant to post my tip would be dont give up to quick. I was getting ready to quit and go in right before both these birds showed up. Y ou just never know when something good is about to happen even though you havent heard a gobble.I was blessed.
