Johnny Clay is in big trouble stemming from a 2009 deer he claimed as the #1 bowkill in Kentucky. The problem is that it now seems likely it was poached with a rifle in Ohio. Oooops. This guy is from just upriver from us in Adams County, Ohio. As I … Continue reading →
I got to thinking about things as I was walking out this morning. This is still a week before the Opener here in Kentucky. You’re not allowed to use calls. Of course, you can’t carry a gun either. Still, this is getting to be one of my favorite times of … Continue reading →
There is not a whole lot you can complain about when you finish off a season like this one. Angus had a good time. I had a good time. The turkeys had a good time. Nobody got hurt. I am starting to count down the number of KY Yute Seasons … Continue reading →
From Turkey and Turkey Hunting The hardest part for me? That’s changed over the years. It used to be just finding birds. Then it became finding the time in my life to get out and hunt. Then it became making sense of what the birds were doing. That right there … Continue reading →
I just sent SuperCore home. He was down this morning scouting with me. As you remember, SuperCore is the longtime friend that I coaxed into deer hunting turkey hunting. This is his first season.

From Turkey and Turkey Hunting We all have a comfort zone for distance in bagging turkeys. I don’t want to talk about ethics, but just personal comfort. It would be a question that would just hard to glean anything meaningful if I just asked you “What is your comfort zone?” … Continue reading →
From March, 2009 On the way back to the house, I didn’t know whether to write this up as a stunning success or a miserable failure. I guess any time the turkeys reveal something to you, it’s a victory. Back in early March, I had Angus out scouting the bottom … Continue reading →
This may be weird to y’all, but there is nothing that quite compares in my life to being away from camp for 2-3 months and then coming back in. I spend the whole winter fretting about the place. It’s weathered ice storms, tornado and so on, and it is always … Continue reading →
