Title: Turkey versus crossbow
Post by: coyote101 on November 23, 2013, 04:07:14 PM
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.

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?

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.
