I took the crossbow to the turkey woods this morning to try my luck. I had the decoys out and was set up in my blind by 5:30. About an hour later the woods started to come alive with turkeys flying down from the roost. I watched them and made turkey noises at them for thirty or forty minutes and finally a few started heading towards my decoys. When they got close enough I let fly and.......turkey down.

Standard hero shot.




Turkey death chamber.


It's almost time to update my sign.

You need to start a turkey guiding business.  How many are you guys allowed to kill?  Do you just buy your tags over the counter?
When they come for mine they better bring theirs

John,

I've taken a couple of guys out to get their first turkey. I'm taking another guy tomorrow to try for his first with a bow. Their success has very little to do with me, and a lot to do with the place we're hunting. It is loaded with turkeys.

In Kentucky, we can kill four birds during the fall season. No more than one a day, only one with a beard longer than 3 inches, and no more than two with a gun.

Tags can be bought over the counter, or they are included in our Sportsman's license. There is no draw or quota system for turkeys in Kentucky.

A lot of turkey hunters only hunt the spring season and wouldn't think of shooting a hen. I like the fall season just as much as the spring and have no problem shooting a hen. You should come and give it a try.
