Dang...not the ending I was hoping to hear.

I noticed you're from Kentucky.

Years back I had just gotten my turkey dog puppy name of Buster. A lady from Atlanta Georgia gave him to me fact she drove 500 miles and delivered him to me because she wanted a hunter to have him....I worked with him every day.

Truthfully I thought I was going to have to drive to Virginia to hunt him.

That year word got out that Kentucky was making turkey dogs legal.

By the time Kentucky season opened Buster was 8 months old...I had rode up and checked out several public land locations during late summer.
Clarks River Refuge was the closet one to me and I saw turkeys when I drove around and I checked it out.

Opening day I killed the first legal turkey using a turkey dog in the state of Kentucky on a spot and flush hunt....second day Buster found them on his own in the hardwood river bottoms and after a short time I killed his second turkey.
