End-of-season gobblers grow more vulnerable when hens slip away to nest, but they are more likely to remain silent when they warily approach a hunter’s call.
End-of-season gobblers grow more vulnerable when hens slip away to nest, but they are more likely to remain silent when they warily approach a hunter’s call.
This is the final weekend of four in Kentucky’s traditional spring wild turkey season, and some savvy hunters may be attuned to saving the best for last.
In some respects, in turkey hunting as in other hunting pursuits, the opening weekend of a season, often the very opening day, the best results come on the front end of the season. For turkey hunting the way it is scheduled in Kentucky, the earliest part of the season catches the birds closest to the most fervent part of the breeding season when the gobblers are most talkative and aggressive.
