Sadly, it will be winding down before Indiana's season opens. We really ought to start the season at least 2 or 3 weeks earlier. Not sure why not... Forsure

Had two on the other side of my neighbors privacy fence strutting and gobbling about 4 hours ago. Just walked out back and hit a glass call and they are still gobbling. Went out scouting most of the morning yesterday and saw a few birds. It's turning on quick compared to the last couple of weeks.

The best thing you can do to help yourself is to never call to turkeys until your ready to kill one. In fact Ky. enacted a law against it. Over using anything to make a Tom gobble is not to your advantage. They will only gobble so many times a season so don't use them up before its time to hunt.

So how many gobbles do they get a year? Good thing they don't have to gobble to be called in. You'd think the ones still gobbling in June and the birds gobbling in early March would better manage their limited gobbles and use them when the hens are interested.

Hens are interested now as they were in early March. Making toms gobble with turkey sounds will do nothing but make them call shy later on. To just hear a turkey gobble its not worth it.

KENTUCKY___Beginning March 1, and until the opening of the youth-only (April 6th) and general spring seasons (April 13th), it is illegal to mimic the sound of a turkey in an area open to hunting if turkeys are reasonably expected to be present.
Just what kind of fine would this be? Ticket, jail time or hanging? This would be hilarious to go in front of a Judge and fight this ticket. You did what son? Made a turkey call and sounded like a turkey.

There will probably not be a gobbler killed --anywhere in the country this spring-- that hasn't heard a hen this year. So I don't guess I understand your reasoning. You believe in "call shy" birds and I believe that every bird on a certain day of the season can be killed. I'm not much on unproven excuses.
Muzzleloader, don't know the fine, but I do have a couple of friends in Kentucky that have the blessing of the local CO's and prosecutor to make calls on their property due to having a callmaking business. Guess there are ways around everything.

ML- it would be a misdemeanor being that this is an admin. rule not a KRS 150. So, the fine would be something less than $1000 and could have other consequences such as loose of hunting priviliges. Plus being labeled as an idiot and poacher by your peers.
GS. I'd like to know the name of the COs that authorized a blatent violation of a rule without premision of the Commission.

If I fart in KY and it happens to sound like a turkey (it could happen), would I be at risk?

I to wish are season started about Now, Last year I had 2 Toms Hened up and I could'nt get them to work my way for nothing, I ended up Busting them off the roost to many times and I never saw them. For some reason They were leaving there Roosting tree, during the night, and would move to the front part of the woods, and would never answer to locator call, and when you started in the woods Bam there they would go and over to another property, I gave up on them, and chaked it up to never guess they will be where there suppose to be
