Kentucky Outfitter #1.....

There’s nothing more exciting than a Kentucky turkey hunt in the beautiful rolling hills of western Kentucky.Let us help you bag your longbeard this spring! Spring 2006 can be summed up as a good

year. The outfitter added some new properties to their leases that helped 12 out of 17 hunters bag 14 gobblers. The weather was the biggest hindrance with storms hammering them days 6 through 9.

The first few days of the season and the latter half proved the most successful. There was no shortage of long beards and next spring should be even better with a good showing of Jakes and a number

of 2-3 year olds making it.

Their turkey hunts are great for those just starting out turkey hunting, someone who has never hunted them altogether or the experienced turkey hunter. Many of their clients are first time turkey hunters or hunters who do not have good areas to hunt or have not yet bagged

their first long beard.

The turkey hunt begin at first light, most often after a gobbler is roosted the night before. The setups at first light most

often deal with a roosted gobbler. If success is not found shortly after fly down, they will move to known areas that the turkey will use. This may include strut zones, dusting bowls, fields, ridge or bottom areas. As the day progresses the game plan will change as the gobblers do. Early to mid-afternoon can provide some of the best turkey action there is

to find. And with being able to hunt from sunrise to sunset, often an old long beard can be fired up late in the evening

on his return to roost and an attempt to assemble hens for the following days breeding regiment

Their style of hunting will depend on what they feel the birds dictate on any particular day. It may require them to “run

and gun” and cover some ground. They could also find themselves set up, blind calling and waiting for a gobbler to slip

in on days when birds are not vocal. If birds are not responsive they will glass fields and set up on any spotted birds

to allow you the best opportunity at harvesting your gobbler. Although challenging, they will not stalk birds for saftey reasons. They hunt hard and will hunt all day if that is what it takes to be successful.

Don't forget about the fall turkey season Kentucky has to offer. Archery season runs from early Sept. through mid Jan.

A week of shotgun season occurs in both Oct. and Dec. We books fall turkey hunts by the day at the rate of $150 per

day, per person. They have a high success rate as well on their fall shotgun hunts with most years being nearly 100%. Each shotgun segment runs 7 days. A two-bird limit/4 bird total with no more than 1 containing a beard greater than 3"

is allowed. Two birds are allowed by archery and two with a shotgun. Winter flocks can have upwards of 100 birds or

more during the fall and winter.

For 2007 our rates will remain the same as 2006. We will be offering a

new hunt for 2007. A 2-day / 1-bird hunt for $300. This is in addition to

our 2 and 3 day two bird hunts. Unless you book a 1-bird hunt, they will

do their best to put you on 2 birds while you are their guest. Only 1 bird may be taken per day.
