I made a trip down to Kentucky to get my 2014 season started off. Kentucky didn't disappoint.
I showed up to camp on Friday in hopes of roosting a bird for opening morning. I ended up hearing a few gobblers that evening and actually roosted one that night. The next morning I set up on the bird I had roosted and he gobbled like nobodies business....but just did not seem to want to cross a ridge to come to my set. However, with the racket he was making and the calling I was doing, it caught the attention of another gobbler. The first time I heard this bird, he was to my right and not really that close. 10 minutes later, he was close enough to have my full attention. He ended up crossing a logging road and going to the bird I set up on and ran him off. Once that bird was run off, he turned his attention to my calling. He made quick work of the distance between him and I, gobbling hard the entire time. He got to a point where he was above my hen decoy and decided that he had done enough to get the attention of the hen. So he stood pat, strutting and gobbling, waiting for her to come to him. That's when I squeezed the trigger..

Great Bird and nice pic.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons. However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
