Last Saturday marked the opening of the spring turkey season in Kentucky. I traveled to Hopkinsville to hunt with Chuck Stephens at Kentucky Trophy Bucks. Chuck has 7000 acres in Christian County that is prime habitat for turkey and deer. Each day I had an opportunity at a mature gobbler and sealed the deal on the morning of the 3rd day. There were several hunters in camp including a father and son from Alabama, three gentlemen from Georgia and writer, Bob Karel, from Florida. All are great fellows who love the sport. I would consider it a privilege to hunt with this group at anytime. During the hunt there were six gobblers taken. The bird in the picture came in just after daylight. He was taken at 65-yards using Heavy-13 Magnum Blend in a Benelli Nova with a Primos Jelly Head choke. (22 lbs, 9 1/2" beard, 1 1/4" spurs)
