To all on my team, a big Hi! I hope to actually get a turkey this year for my team,lol! Season doesn't start until May 1. Please everyone, check in and stay active with this!! I don't want to be alone like in the squirrel contest,lol!

[turkeygirl]

By the way, let's think of some names for our team and then vote on one. My thoughts so far are:

GobblerGetters
StrutStalkers

[turkeygirl]

Hello...where's the rest of my team? Come on' guys....

[EKYhunter]

Hello turkeygirl and all of the rest of the team! Sorry it's took so long but I've been busy with work. My season starts April 15th and I'm taking off the first week to hunt. I usually tag out so I should be good for an Eastern. Maybe the rest of the team will post soon. I like the names you came up with and will see if I can think up a couple. Oh by the way I'm in Eastern Kentucky in case you're interested!

[msskeet]

[msskeet]

...my wife called from her parents place at 2p...this is my #1 turkey spot...she glassed a ground dragging tom for 30 min...i will be on him on wed morning!!...cal

[turkeygirl]

Ok, I emailed Borch and told him that StrutStalkers was our name. Good luck msskeet; go get em'! I've seen turkey sign on land I don't hunt on. I've got to get to some state land to find some turkeys though. There is a group of turkeys on land that I can't hunt on that borders the land I can hunt on near home so maybe if there is still that gobbler around I saw in the fall, I might have a chance. good luck everyone!

[EKYhunter]

How was opening day msskeet? Hope ya got longbeard!

[msskeet]

....i got set up just before sunrise...no one has heard any gobbling this past week....we make turkey noises....there are so much clucking and gobbling coming back to us, we think that there are hunters on the other side of the field....we see turkeys flying down from 3 different trees....the tom that we have seen earlier hits the ground like a beach ball and stays puffed and strutting for an hour...an hour...thats how long i watched him from 75 yards strutting and not getting any closer...he breeds two hens and they all move into the woodline....we rush to catch them on the other side on the powerline....not there.....i leave at 9a......at 12.30p there are reports of the tom in the field at the spot we were set up....i move back in on the side of the roosting tree....from 2p to 6p nothing....at 6.05 i see the tom on the opposite side...he ignores my calls and feeds off into the woodline.....mr unpredictable.....i am off for 10 days starting sunday and its off to the races again!!!!!!......cal

[EKYhunter]

Hang in there and outsmart that foxy old Gobbler!

[turkeygirl]

Any luck yet msskeet?

[EKYhunter]

Yeah give us an update msskeet!

[turkeygirl]

Don't keep us in suspense,lol. Well hopefully he's out there kicking some turkey butt.

[msskeet]

...im in hiding right now....my brother-in-law scored the wiley bird...19lbs 9.75 beard....1.58 spurs....im waiting until another tom comes in to take over...my other turkey hunting pal is coming home this next week,,,gonna try another spot while waiting....

[EKYhunter]

Keep after 'em!

[turkeygirl]

Good luck and keep us notified!

[EKYhunter]

What's going on msskeet? Any gobblers yet? Keep us updated.

[turkeygirl]

Wow, except for like 3 of us, no one else on the team seems to be very umm...responsive,lol. Come on guys, stay with it, don't abandon us.

[bigmacz71]

Hey guys I am still here I am just busy so I probably wont post that much but I will be in the woods every weekend I can. I went last weekend but all the gobblers were hened up and would not answer my calling. But I am not giving up.

[msskeet]

....not enough time this past week!!!...easter weekend is the next opportunity!!!!

[turkeygirl]

Good luck mss! Bring us back a ol' tom!

[EKYhunter]

Hey gang! Been huntin' all week and no bird so far! It's been the most frustrating week I've had in years. The birds here are extremely henned up. Well I'll be back after them in the morning! Had three working this morning and a trespasser on a four wheeler spooked them off! That's what kind of week it's been! How's everyone else doing?

[turkeygirl]

Anyone having any luck?? Come on guys, I don't want to be on another un-active team. Keep us alive! Season starts Monday for me and I'll be out there!

[msskeet]

...the last day is tomorrow for us!!!...so far its been a bust for me....ive seen birds everytime ive gone....just not being able to connect on one....im leaving at 4a to go to a different spot ....

[turkeygirl]

Well Tuesday I chased a tom around, trying to get him before this obnoxious guy, missed a shot at him though in the tree. Been seeing hens at least. I think the tom is around still, unless he got shot while I was not in the woods, but I haven't seen/heard anyone else around. I took this morning off but will hit the woods tonight in hopes of roosting some birds, and get out tomorrow morning before a class.

[msskeet]

0 for 5....cut and run for 5 hours on logging roads through cutover and katrina mess....one tom hammered one long time but he couldnt walk through to where i was.....that was the only one that i heard the whole day...saw 3 others on a pipeline right of way......started very early hoping to see one fly down and call him in....good luck to everyone else...it was more learning this year than shooting!....cal --free state of jones
