Happy Monday, all! This week The Hunting Wire is in eastern Kentucky chasing gobblers with Chene Gear's Mike Tussey. The Bluegrass State has always been good to me. Check in next week to see how everything worked out.

In the meantime, the new homestead is settling in just fine. Having a range in your backyard is a blessing - a dream come true.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be focused on turkeys, turkey gear, and adventures with Wendy as we try to put her in the win column this season. Here's a big shout-out to everyone who gets to hunt with our significant others. Short story - I brought up a small piece of land I just got access to near the house to Wendy and Brenn over dinner last week. It's a low-pressure area often overlooked by hunters, and I'm optimistic. My daughter suggested I write about this new place in The Hunting Wire, and she was immediately cut off by my wife, who said we wouldn't be doing that. That's a honey hole, Brenn, and we don't discuss those with anyone. Ever.

I married the right gal.

Good luck, everyone.
