[IowaDeerHunter]

My name is Russell, and I will be hunting in the Loess Hills of Iowa, most populated turkey county in Iowa!

Any name for me will work, but I like "Longbeards"
"Gobbler getters" these two the best.

[cutter10x]

[cutter10x]

[slaw]

I hope everybody checks in soon , I will be on here almost every day .

[Fullfan]

Hellooooo There team 25. The Fullfan is here. Looking froward to having fun again this year. My Texas hunt has been set back a year, but I will be hunting Mo and Pa and Ny.Come on April...

[slaw]

How about the thunderbirds for a team name....

[slaw]

I got it...how about "THE SPURRMINATORS"??

[slaw]

If ya want, I'll put the name suggestions in a hat and draw one out. we only have one member left to check in. one more name idea...."Mother Strutters II" that was my team name from last year

[slaw]

One more name ..."The Full-Fan-Addicts"...little play on words.

[cutter10x]

[Fullfan]

Kind of a qt. bunch that we have here. Someone find a name for this bunch.

[slaw]

I numbered all the suggestions and had my son pick a number and the team name behind that number was "the Spurrminators", we can change if y'all want. man I can't wait, turkey is on my brain, thats about all i can think about.....c'mon April 15

[slaw]

I ordered a sims limbsaver recoil pad yesterday, my 835 needs somethiing, i have a bum shoulder and those 3 1/2 inch magnums are murder...on me and the turkeys.

[borch]

Guys I pulled the "M" out of there to take away any potential issues that name might bring not related to turkey hunting.

[cutter10x]

im hunting just south of memphis mo.....

[slaw]

Sorry guys for the name that was drawn out, but I guess it wasn't acceptable, so I opted to change it to Full-Fan-Addicts...Now lets go and get some Full-fan birds, may he have a long beard, extra long spurs and very heavy....

[Fullfan]

Sounds good to me..

[IowaDeerHunter]

About four weeks until I go hunting! Should be a good year!

awesome slaw.....nice bird....going to missouri soon and ny starts may 1st......

[slaw]

Missouri has some big ol' easterns, good luck and go get ya one.

[IowaDeerHunter]

Well our season was cut short once again. Which is nothing new for us. In the past five years of turkey hunting we have gotten thunderstorms. Two years ago we got hailed on in the field. We got to hunt Firday. And Saturday Morning, before some tornadic storms moved through. It all around sucked. That about sums up my year for turkeyu hunting.

[slaw]

C'mon team, lets pick him up and put some scores up on the board

[Exturkinator]

Hey guys - I just found this page tonight - sorry for not signing in earlier...
This spring I'll be hunting in Tennessee and Michigan.
Slaw - you got a super bird there...

[slaw]

[Fullfan]

[slaw]

Way to go man, thats a real monster, It wont take much to put us in the lead.....go Full-Fan-Addicts !!!

[borch]

That is an awsome tom! That 75.5 definitely help your team score. If I recall correctly it's the second highest scoring bird, just behind boonencricket's 76 even.

Again way to go!

[IowaDeerHunter]

Awesome job guys! Way to help the team.

I will be getting one last shot at these darn birds. I hope I can come away with my first ever turkey. I have one day to do it with a gun.

[Exturkinator]

I just put one down this morning here in Michigan - 22.9 pounds, 11 1/4 inch beard, and 1 1/8 spurs. I've got pictures on the way...

[Fullfan]

Ex, sounds like a good one. Congrats and looking forward to the story and pic's. I shot and missed a nice long beard here in Pa this morning at 10. One of them 35 yd goofs. LOL.

[slaw]

Yep we should have roughly 212.875. Nice job guys!

I am still trying to get me a bird, but the weather is not looking to nice for this weekend, calling for rain.

[slaw]

Guys , we have whacked 3 really big toms, and we're in the thick of things as soon as exturkinator post his bird....I'm real proud of all you guys. It's been great.

[Exturkinator]

Hey guys - sorry for the delay in posting my bird - I've been really busy for the last several days.
I posted the pics and stats in the contest thread and below - I'll post the entry form when I get it scanned in. I'll also post the story in the regular thread.

[Fullfan]

EX, You are the man. Congrats on a good bird.

[Exturkinator]

Posted the completed entry form so mine's official too...
Looks like we'll at least be in the running!

[slaw]

Great job Ex, we did good this year for being short -handed. and we are temporarily in the lead with only 3 birds. we should have thought of this earlier in the year, to let one hunter submit a second bird, (fullfan) then we would have almost been untouchable. great job team, is IOWADEERHUNTER still hunting??? even a jake might seal the deal for us.

[IowaDeerHunter]

No guys, I am done hunting. Sorry I could not connect on anything, never have enough time to get it done. With school we only have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to hunt, and then we can still go fourth season but we never get out since our hunting land is hour and a half away.

We hunted Friday, and Half of Saturday, the birds never came to the calls at all, even the other people I talked to that hunt around there had the same trouble. They wouldn't even come into the decoys.

On our first setup we had a jake 80 yards away and then the disk came through the field less than 100 yards behind us. On 800 they had to disk this one part while we were there. So we moved over the hills. There were a lot of turkeys in the crick bottom and one strutter about 200 yards away. we sat forever eventually getting kicked out by the tractor and disk. So we moved over the next hill, and had a hen come in to 20 yards. We eventually hit the opposite end of the section and dad picked us up with the truck.

We setup on our other 160 acres and had two hens come in within 10 yards but no toms, or jakes.

The next morning we hunted in a field where they were sturtting the day before. My dad had the spring jealosy setup and had a tom come within 50 yards, just barely out of range for his ten gauge that does not pattern worth a crap. It sat their for five ten minutes and eventually turned around and walked off, and then got chased away by two other toms.

That was our 2006 turkey season, it sucked. The rest of saturday was shut out by rain/thunderstorms/tornadoes. We came home and were done. I sure wish I was able to connect with a trukey because it would almost give us a sure win in the contest. CUTTER10X how you doin?

[Fullfan]

Guys I think we all had fun with this and it was a great effort by all. I see we are in first place by .4 tents of a point.

Would have been nice to enter a second bird.
I know that there is a week left here in Pa. I don't know how many others are still hunting??

Maybe we can hang on to out lead??

[slaw]

I think the team we are just ahead of has a mature gobbler that will replace the jake that was last entered, that should put them well ahead of us, but it is yet to be submitted...

[Fullfan]

slaw, Correct me if I am wrong but the rules say that you have to enter the first bird you kill.

[IowaDeerHunter]

I am pretty sure you have to enter your first bird, that way it is fair to those who can only take one in their state.

I am not positive, but I think we will be taken over by team #23. They have 180 something and Mr. Wiggely entered a bird, so I am not sure.

It was a great year for some of you guys and nice job and congrats on the beautiful birds!

[slaw]

yes it is the first bird, but slughunter hasn't submitted one yet... his will bump a jake off the list.

[Fullfan]

Either way it was a great year and some good birds were taken.

[cutter10x]

well you guys are doing awesome.........im not done but am having trouble connecting......i ended up having to guide more in missouri than expected and ny has been slow.....dont count me out yet...........great birds......

No pressure or anything, but if you get a bird that would more than likely put this away for us! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[IowaDeerHunter]

Oh BTW how manys days do you have left to hunt?

[cutter10x]

i can up with 55.25 as a score.......double check me......

[cutter10x]

[slaw]

WAY TO GO CUTTER!!!, thats an anchor man , lets hear the story behind that bird, I need to hear some late season tactics, the birds here in Illinois are really hard to figure out in late season.

[Fullfan]

Cutter congrats, you are the Man....

I just got back from training in hershey and this is the first I saw your post. Way to go...

[slaw]

Got my fan back from my buddy who mounted it for me, check it out. http://www.realtree.com/img/649/IMG_0490.JPG

[slaw]

I think I hear the fat lady hummin'

Way to go team!

[Fullfan]

Oh ya I also do something, humm what can it be??

I am just wondering if we have any sandbaggers just waiting to drop the bomb.

[IowaDeerHunter]

Yeah guys, the two closest teams to us right need a 80.15 inch bird and another needs a 81.4625, so I am just saying that we basically have the win locked, but it aint over till the fat lady sings like you guys said! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[IowaDeerHunter]

Fullfan that would have to be an 80+ bomb of a bird. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I still wish I was able to contribute to the team, even if it was only a jake. You guys sure did an awesome job! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Exturkinator]

Gentleman, I think the Lord looked favorably upon our team's spring season! You guys brought home some monsta toms...

[Fullfan]

Guys yes we did have a great year, Iwoa an 80 + would be a big bomb. Thanks to all you guys for the effort this year.

[slaw]

we were fortunate to have all us turkey slayin son of a guns all hooked up on the same team....it's been a great season regardless of the outcome...keep your fingers crossed guys.

[Fullfan]

Anyone here old enough to remember the group "Queen" ?? Freddie Mercury sang " We are the Champions". .....

oops sorry the contest is not over yet.

[slaw]

(waving my arms, up in the air, side to side), yea the 70s were some of my fondest memories....what I can remember of them....*LOL* Queen has a new lead singer and their out touring, he's from Bad co. Can't remember his name right now...Paul Rogers...still sounds great too I might add........"We will, We will ROCK YOU!"

[slaw]

Aint he purdy? http://www.realtree.com/img/508/IMG_0456a.JPG

[Fullfan]

Slaw, nice pic.

[IowaDeerHunter]

That is a cool picture slaw! Nice bird! I never lived during the 70's but I love the music! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[IowaDeerHunter]

Only 8 days until it is all over! And hopefully we are still on top!

So nw that turkey season is done what is everyone doing? For me, it is work, making money for that Switchback XT that I really want since my brother just got one. I am going to be mounting a coyote which should be time consuming and a lot of fun. I gotta set the leaf rivers out though and find the bachelor groups of bucks! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[IowaDeerHunter]

Guys I think we have got this one as the board was just updated! Unless some team can pull off a miracle! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Exturkinator]

Sounds great - although I suppose there's a chance that somebody is holding out on posting a boomer longbeard...

Hey guys, what do the winners receive as prizes??

I know last year I was hooked up with a entire set of cammo's and a bunch of good looking Rezno decoys.

[IowaDeerHunter]

I think that is that same thing this year. Also I will try to make a sig. for us.

[IowaDeerHunter]

Guys I got an avator made but I can not get it resized to fit the sig. line. Also it is pretty plane and boring, so if anyone wants me to email it to them so they can add to it, that would be great, just let me know.

[slaw]

Hey IDH, send it my way, lets check it out

[IowaDeerHunter]

Alright Slaw I will send it when I get home tonight. Please feel free to do ANYTHING with it, it is pretty plane right now, but a start. Maybe we should get Vermonthunter to make us something fancy! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[slaw]

Idh, try sending it again, I had to change my e-mail addy

[IowaDeerHunter]

I don't know how to edit it

[IowaDeerHunter]

That could be a problem. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I guess I do not know what to do. I used Microsoft Picture it 10 program.

[Exturkinator]

[IowaDeerHunter]

[Exturkinator]

IDH - I made some modifications and sent it back to your email...

[cutter10x]

well we going to see this thing anytime soon.....

[IowaDeerHunter]

I have it but can not resize it. It is to big and photobucket sucks because it never resizes it when it says it does. Any help?

[Exturkinator]

you might shoot it over to the other guys for their input - if everybody agrees, maybe somebody in the lounge who's good with graphics can tell us how to get a final size, etc on the thing...
