RE: Team 13
I think that was smack talk.
Anyway, I went and took a look at two new turkey hunting properties yesterday. They were both nice. The first one is 450 acres, about an hour from my house and has a power line through it, we saw two hens crossing it, lots of turkey sign. The second was 3,000 acres and I didn't really see any turkey sign, but they have tons of deer. I'm sure the turks are there,There are lots of hills and draws, I figure if I get up on a hill I should be able tohere a gobble and head to him.
Do any of you hunt like that? Can you roost a bird from a great distance? I'm used to flat ground in South Alabama and Florida, so these hills will be a challenge I've not faced much.
"Gobble Busters"is pretty good. Anyone else want to take a shot at a name?Most every name you can imagine has been used already in past years, but it's still fun.

RE: Team 13
I was tryin to come up with a name that had the nickname "Hokie" in it. BUT, when I looked at the dictionary for the definition of "Hokie" it wasn't what I thought it was...
Definition:
an emasculated turkey
So I'm not so much into the Hokie name anymore. Why would Virginia Tech use that as a mascot. Big let down. Kinda like the guy ringing the bell at the Texas TechFootball games!!!!

"Gobble Getters"
"Hooks"
"Jellyheads"
"Sunrise Assassins"
"Roost Robbers"
"Purr'in and Spur'in"
That's all I got.

Me again. As far as hunting bluff/hill country goes put them to bed at night by going up to a high point (try not to scare any off) and make a loud screech with your call. You should hear some gobble somewhere. Take note and in the morning head off in that direction early and sound off an owl hoot or yote yelp and you should be able to hone in closer. Setup about 100 yds or so from where you heard them, when you start to hear some action in the trees and turkeys just beginning to fly down grab the front of your shirt and pull it out and in to make it sound like you are a turkey flying down along with some rustling of the foliage. Put on some softer yelps and putts and you should be back just in time for breakfeast.
