Kentucky turkey season - day 5
|
I'm hoping these first five days aren't an indication of what my whole season is going to be like! This year I made a commitment to kill my turkeys with a bow. On top of that, I want to get all of our hunts on film. So what this all translates to is that I have to pack in a blind, decoys, video equipment and my bow every morning afield. That pretty much limits me to remaining stationary - which is a little difficult for someone who loves to "run and gun". I was hunting this morning in the same location as day 1, and just like day 1, I sat in the blind and listened to birds gobble in the distance for the first couple of hours of daylight. They would occasionally respond to my calling, but never showed any indication of getting any closer. I actually heard hens yelping a few times, so I have a pretty good idea why they weren't interested in me! Even though there is plenty of season left here in Kentucky, I am starting to feel a little frustration. A few more days of this, and I can see me breaking out the thunder stick and chasing those birds like the "old days". Tomorrow, however, I will be sitting in the blind again - with my wife. My goal is for her to harvest her very first game animal. Check back tomorrow to see how that went!
Until then, hunt safe and shoot straight!
