The Shamanic Dream Team has tagged a gobbler on the Second Saturday of KY Spring Gobbler Season. Moose and MooseWoman went to the Honey Hole this morning. MooseWoman does not hunt, at least not yet. She just went to enjoy the morning with her squeeze. It was a near-perfect morning. Friday had been hot and windy–up to 40 MPH gusts. It had stayed close to 70F overnight. This is the warmest we’ve ever hunted.
The gobblers were already sounding off a good 10 minutes before legal hunting. Moose called a bit– thought he attracted some attention, but flydown came and went and things went quiet. A bird started cranking up on HeartBreak Ridge all the way back towards the property line. Soon, Moose started hearing the gob coming closer. The turkey had come out into the road and was walking towards them. After just a few gobbles, he had closed to within 35 yards and Moose found a shooting lane out into the field. One round of #4s put the bird down. It was only 0737, about 40 minutes past sunrise.
The gobbler was a good healthy 2 year old with a 10 inch beard and 3/4″ spurs. MooseWoman had her phone up, attempting to record the shot.
