mossyhorn Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgate Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Re: THOUGHTS ON KENTUCKYS OPENING DAY HUNT! 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eastky Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Re: THOUGHTS ON KENTUCKYS OPENING DAY HUNT! 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.
