Turkey Dogs

[69beers]

Does anyone here hunt fall turkeys with a dog?

Just curious how do you turkey hunt with a dog?

The dog is trained to scour the woods for a flock of turkeys.
Once found, the dog flushes the birds and scatters the flock.

The hunter then sets up and places the dog in some sort of camo cover.
The dog is trained to be still and quiet while the hunter calls the birds back together and shoots one.

It's a time-honored tradition in the hills of the East.

I read a really cool article about it in Fur-Fish-Game magazine. Quite interesting.

Today was the opener for KY fall shotgun turkey.

Nice!
Ours opened today as well, but the weather kept me out of the mood.
