THOUGHTS ON KENTUCKYS OPENING DAY HUNT!

[mossyhorn]

I have seen two jakes. Both with in 15 to 20 yards. Easy shot but the beards were very small. Seen also 3 toms shot at one and missed and the other two were after a hen that was below me. But tomorrow i will get them.

Saturday and Sunday were completely different here where I hunt in Robertson Co. Saturday morning the birds were not gobbling at all on the roost. That was a first! When they hit the ground they started up. I shot a nice 20 lb. bird Sat. morning at 10 yds.. Sunday morning I must have heard 10 different birds on the roost gobbling their heads off. Shot a nice 21 lb. tom at 45 yds.

Saturday Morning was tough, saw a hen, but not one gobble to be heard, finally saw a tom at 9:30 but didn't get a shot. Sunday morning was a different story, got up at 5:50am, in the woods and seated at 6:15am, toms were gobbling everywhere, I had them coming in from every direction, @7:00 am put my tom on the ground at 45 yds, ending up being a nice 26 lb, 10 in beard, and 1" spurs, not bad for my first time ever turkey hunting I guess.
