Great Kentucky Season (pic hvy)

[Chilly]

I have to say it has been an awesome Kentucky season for my family and myself.  It all started youth weekend with my oldest son Landon shooting his biggest bird.  26lb, 11/3/4 beard and 1-5/16 spurs.

Regular season started and I was able to get my two state birds the first two days and focus on my bonus birds the rest of the week.  On one of those cases, a friend of mine and myself called in a double and were able to connect on them. 

My youngest son Weston (6) is showing a lot of interest so I took him on a few hunts.  We managed to get on a bird that was henned up all evening long and got too close at one point.  If it wasn't for our decoy mover, I don't think he would have committed.  He was 24lb, 10" beard and 1-1/4 spurs.

I have tagged along with my dad on a few hunts.  We had an awesome time chasing some smart public land birds that kicked our butts.  He has had a couple of misses this season and we never really figured out what he was doing wrong.  (guessing he was getting too wrapped up in watching the birds while his head wasn't down on the gun) We finally got on one yesterday that played the game in our favor.  He gobbled the whole time and we called him a couple hundred yards.  This bird was 100% committed.  He crossed a ridge and a creek to get to us.  He stepped into the clearing and offered dad a perfect shot.  He dropped him in his tracks.  It has been a while since I've seen dad as excited as he was then.  Dads bird was 21lbs, 1" razor spurs (that can penetrate your thumb real easy), and a double beard 9.5" and a 1.5".
I've been blessed and fortunate to watch 8 longbeards hit the ground this season. It never gets old.  To say it has been exciting would be an understatement!
