Kentucky's fall turkey season......

coyote101 · October 26, 2013, 12:10:31 PM

.......opened today. So my friend and I headed to the honey hole early this morning. We were set up in the blind with the decoys out by 0620. Not much action early, but eventually the hens started to show up. Then a couple of gobblers came to the field and got just a little to close. On the count of three we both fired and down they went. Turkey double on opening morning.

My brother in law is coming in from out of town tomorrow. I hope to put him on one Monday morning.

Congrats to you both.
Numbers here are down that we can only hunt spring birds (S.E. PA only).

What is really great about this is that you both waited till 3 to shoot rather than one shooting on 2 causing the other shooter try a shot at a moving bird.

Congratulations and hopefully you got your brother-in-law a shot as well.

My brother in law Paul got his first ever turkey Monday evening.

He got his second on Tuesday morning.

My buddy Roy got one this morning (Wednesday).

Fall turkey season is going well so far. We have taken seven turkeys off this property since Saturday.

If I remember correctly from the time that we hunted it that only leaves about 476 turkeys left.

Congrats to your friends, Pat.

Thanks for the invitation, Pat, but my shoulder is not quite ready yet. Sure sounds tempting though.
