Looks like a winning team.

[WISHUNTER]

Have a good farm this year!

[MrWiggely]

Lets start tossing out some ideas for a team name if you have any.

WIgs

[lil hunter]

hows about
turkey quest winners, or
el winnero de contesto.lol

on a serious note:
The Dead Birds (we could be the sleeper team, no one expects anything of us from that name, then we go out and whoop 'em)
The 5th toes(spurs)
Gobble Gobble BOOM
Gobble Gobble GONE

ok, don't laugh, that is the best I can come up with for names. Tryin to get something original, rather than the gobblerstoppers or other names that seem to come up every year.

[GobblerBuster618]

Gobblerbuster618 checking in. Here we go guys!!

[WISHUNTER]

How about
The Struters

[GobblerBuster618]

Any of you guys do any good last season??? I shot a nice 21 pounder 10 inch beard bird... I will put in the time once again this year!

[MrWiggely]

25 1/2 pounds with 10 1/2 inch beard and inch or so spurs, I cant remember how long beard and spurs were for sure. But that is ball park.

WIgs

[MrWiggely]

Maybe we could be the GobbFathers.

Just a thought.

WIgs

[WISHUNTER]

How about
Jellyheads

[GobblerBuster618]

i was thinking about that name myself haha

[MrWiggely]

yeah jellyheads works good for me.

[lil hunter]

jellyheads is fine. But I also really like the Gobbfathers

[MrWiggely]

Where the heck is the rest of our crew if you see them tell them to get in here.

[lil hunter]

I think my season opens on April 26th. I'll be shootin an 835. I may try to find a little better shell this year, but might stick with my 3.5" Win. Supreme HV 2 oz. #5.

[GobblerBuster618]

so whats our name guy's... we have 6 ppl so 4 would make enough to decide the name. Jellyheads is good with me.

[MrWiggely]

I will let Borch know to change our name here. Just to let you guys know after tonight, will be off the forum for about a week. We had a misfortune in my family. I will be back on soon.

1 strut here..april 24..ohio..yr brfore last 13+ beard 26 lb..1 9/16 spurs..got 30 days to try to get one as big..but its getting toughter all the time to get birds here in se ohio

[lil hunter]

hey 1 strut, why don't you hold off for a little bigger bird this season. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif lol That one sounds huge, hope you can get his brother this year.

Last year I shot my first turkey, which was a jake. 13 lbs, 5.5" beard, wittle bitty spurs.lol

[okbowman]

Good to be on the team, just checking in. Jellyheads sounds great to me, hopefully that's what we'll make of a bunch of longbearded gobblers!

[okbowman]

April 6-May6 is our season. Didn't get one last year, but I did in 2004. 9.5" beard 1" spurs weighed 20 lbs. Lets get em'.

[lil hunter]

My season starts April 26th. Thats a wednesday, then theres 3 weekends of season for me to hunt. Hopefully I'll be able to drop a nice longbeard this season. I will probably pass on jakes, since I've already killed one, I will hold out for something a little bigger.

[lil hunter]

Anybody been doin any scoutin yet? How's your spots lookin?

[MrWiggely]

scouting a bit, Im seeing anywhere from 50-350 turkey every day in fields around my turkey areas. It is looking good. I havent found the one Im after yet though

[lil hunter]

I had a dream last night about turkeys... Season will be here before long.lol

[1 strut]

won't b long now.get them calls out and get that gun sighted in

[MrWiggely]

Over a month away for me.

[GobblerBuster618]

It wont be long now.. As soon as it warms up pretty good im gonna head to our cabin and put some birds to bed a few times to make sure they are in the same spot as always... Gosh I cant take it anymore i need to go hunting!! Less than a month tho.

[MrWiggely]

Yeah birds are strutting all over the place here. Gobbling in the morning like they are already love struck. Still have over a month to go but season is looking good!

Keep us posted fellas as to how your doing!

Wigs

[okbowman]

Our season opens April 6, I'll try to do my part and nail one!

[lil hunter]

good luck okbowman, hope you get a nice one.

[MrWiggely]

anyone hunting yet? Let us know how your doing.

Wigs

[lil hunter]

not hunting yet, still got a couple weeks, but it will be soon.

[lil hunter]

Got some news today, that might not be good. The place my dad is workin right now is about to have a shut-down, which means he will be doing a lot of overtime, and weekend working for a few weeks. This well be right during turkey season, so I may not get the chance to do much of it. On a good note, my grandparents live just a few mins away from where I hunt, and i'm sure I could go spend the weekend with them, and have 'em take me out in the morning. And that would also gimme the oppurtunity to put some birds to sleep, which I've never had an oppurtunity to do. I dunno for sure what will happen, but I will keep you all informed. I did buy some new Fed. turkey loads with the new wad, I will be hopefully tryin those out this weekend, to see if they are any better than my HV winchesters that I used last season.

[MrWiggely]

Well the birds are finally starting to wake up real good here. A couple weeks ago they were gobbling like mad (one morning) Ihave been out 10 times since and have heard nothing until yesterday, and today. They were gobbling hard at crows all morning both days. Season is coming soon!

Wigs

[GobblerBuster618]

Did some scouting last sunday and heard some fly up but no gobbles. Earlier that day others who were scouting the property we hunt saw 2 nice gobblers in the field. I think im gonna go saturday night and try to find the roost spot again. Still got to wait to the 24th here

[lil hunter]

we always do our little easter celebration just a couple miles from the land we turkey hunt on, I will more than likely run out there for a few mins today, just to see what I can see.lol. I will try to get some pics for you guys. Season is less than 2 weeks away now.

[MrWiggely]

Yup same here 15 days to go. Im going crazy! Been out scouting a ton. I have a bunch of mature birds lined up too. We need to get hunting so we can get on the board.

Wigs

[GobblerBuster618]

one week from tomorrow boys for me. Im taking a fella out for the youth season on the 22 and the 23. I'll keep ya posted!

[MrWiggely]

Good Luck GB,

Im still waiting impatiently for May 1st. Im out nearly every morning looking for birds. Lots of them around hopefully I will get on a good one first day or two so I can rest better at night.

Keep us posted guys.

[lil hunter]

1 1/2 weeks left for me here. I drove around the property i will be hunting a few days ago. Apperently, since last year, they built a big gravel road through most of the land. I was really dissapointed at first, but it shouldn't be in the way much. Most of it is all through fields that I don't hunt anyway(jus overgrown brush everywhere) We saw a few birds, I'm pretty sure 1 or 2 were toms, and I did here a gobble. I also got some more land that I will be able to hunt, but we have never been out there, so who knows what will happen with that. There is 80 acres of land, and that guys brother owns another 200 right next to it, so thats 280 acres we could hunt, plus all the other land around it is just old strip mined land, so we could do some huntin on that too.

[WISHUNTER]

My season starts tomorrow the 26th and goes for 5 days. Hope to get some points for the jellyheads!
Talk to you guys when I can.

[lil hunter]

I hunted yesturday and today, didn't get a bird. I did see a few toms,1 or 2 were pretty big ones. But I never had any within range. Still got 2 more weekends to hunt though, hopefully I'll come through.

[WISHUNTER]

Got some points for the Jellyheads!!!!
Can someone post pic's for me please???
if so pm me your e-mail please. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[MrWiggely]

send an emil of the pics to toddq33@aim.com and I will get it done this evening for you.

Congratulations!

Wigs

[okbowman]

Any of you guys doing any good? I have 2 days left and all I have done is call in a nice one for a friend of mine, I'm tomless!

I am going Friday and Saturday(last day of season here)

[MrWiggely]

Called in 2 long beards today. Had them at 60 yards and closing then 6 jakes ran them off. What a start to the season.

Wigs

[lil hunter]

I've seen a few nice birds, but haven't had any in close. Still got 2 more weekends to hunt them though.

[lil hunter]

I didn't even getta hunt this weekend. Dad ended up workin both saturday and sunday, when all week he didn't expect to work either. We still got next weekend to hunt 'em, then my season is over

[okbowman]

I got a pretty nice bird Saturday, the last day of our Oklahoma season.

10" beard, 1"spurs, weighed 22 lbs.

Where do I find the entry form on the site?

I have pics ready, just need that form!

[okbowman]

A couple more good birds and we'll be in the thick of things!

[WISHUNTER]

Great job on the bird okbowmen... That's 2 for the team so far.. keep them coming...

[okbowman]

Wishunter, I only see my bird on the score totals, make sure that Wigs get those pics posted so our total gets up there where it belongs!

[lil hunter]

sorry guys, today was the last day of the season for me, and I came home emptyhanded. I was sittin on the edge of a field most the day, and there was 1 nice gobbler out in it, but he stayed over 150 yards away the whole time. When we were drivin out, we saw a hen next to the road that already had a buncha poults with her, guess that sorta explains why the gobblers never paid attention to calls.

[okbowman]

Anyone still hunting? With one more bird we would be in the lead, unless its really small. By my calculations we are only 24.5 points out of the lead!! Come on somebody, score one more for the Jellyheads!!

[lil hunter]

OO hopefully someone is still huntin.
