A good friend Joe Perkins has been hunting in Western Kentucky for 10 years now. He has had some great hunts over the years and has been very successful bringing back 5 wall hangers from 130 class to 160 class deer. What makes this remarkable is this is not pay hunts he's going on. Joe hunts with our group on privately owned and leased land. He has a few traditions he lives by and they pay dividends for him. He will never make the trip north without an ice chest full of shrimp. The first year he took shrimp to Kentucky he killed the largest buck of his life. Needless to say he is in a panic each year when the calendar turns to November to try to locate some fresh off the boat shrimp.

I wont give up all his tricks but check out some of his buck pictures from the last few years.

So come November if you see a truck north bound on the Interstate that appears to be the Beverly Hillbillies. It might be the LA Hillbillies (Lower Alabama) loaded down with gear (shrimp, pecans, satsumas) and any other items that brought a little luck in the past.
If you guys run into Joe ask him to tell you about his cover scent.
He's definitely not your Average Joe when it comes to hunting.
