Kentucky turkey season - day 1

The first day of the Kentucky turkey season is in the books and there were no birds in the game bag for Team Poor Boys. Regardless of that, though, it was a great opener for me. Not only was the weather absolutely perfect - 40s in the morning, climbing to mid 70s for a high - but I was able to take my wife on her very first turkey hunt. We had at least 4 toms gobbling their heads off from the roost, but they got very quiet once they hit the ground. We would ocassionally hear a gobble off in the distance after that, but nothing ever really responded to the calling. We did get the pleasure of seeing a coyote come out into the field to check out the decoys. You could tell he wanted badly to give them a closer look, but he just didn't like that big blind sitting out there in the field!

Overall, it was a great opening day and I am sure things will pick up as the season progresses. I plan on hunting most every day of the season, so stay tuned as we keep you updated on what is going on with Team Poor Boys!
