We spotted two big gobblers way out across a Kentucky field 120 yards and closing. Kevin was masked up, the KFI Impala Plus was dialed, and we were creeping through the timber trying not to breathe too loud. But just as it all lined up… CLICK!. Not once. Twice.
We were in the Kentucky turkey hunting woods way before daylight. Woke up a 4:30am to get a head start. I was out there with my buddy Ryan Whitaker from 3S Ranch and Jordan Brake running the camera, chasing Easterns on the first morning of the hunt.
This wasn’t just a turkey—it looked like a dinosaur. Long beard, hooks like needles, inch and an eighth spurs. We hit the woods in Texas, worked the call, and it was game over.
