RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Hey all in andI know of 3 from past contests who are on this team and are very good turkey hunters -

JW

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Seeing lots of birds. Had some guys come down from Kentucky the first week and hunt. One of them is actually on team 18. I put him on some birds and he added two for there team. Now its time for me to start.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Well, what did you go and do that for?? You aren't supposed to be helping out the competition! :D

Good luck though....hope you get one down for our team!

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

What are YOU talkin about? Who calls in your birds for you?

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

lol good to have you on the team but lets tryto have fun and get some of them old birds on our walllol my season opens this week end and i'm planning on getting atleast two this weekend

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

it might be mid to late may before i get the chance to hunt my own birds but i will be out every weekend hunting them.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Well, you do. BUT Only becausemy calling sucks.....they sound like they are dying. :( That's the only reason they would even come in......to see why that one sounded like it's leg was getting cut off.

Speaking of which....shouldn't you be practicing your turkey calling instead of playing on the internet???

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

According to this statement who should be practicing?

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

I don't think that the guys in the office would appreciate the sqwuaking and screeching that would be coming from my turkey call. Not many people in the world would....you may be one of the few.

You are right though....I should start practicing at home in the evenings. You could critic me....if you can hear over the dogs howling! [:@]

And besides......why should I practice when I've got you to call them in for me! :)

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

I wouldn't exactly call myself a good turkey hunter, but these are from last year's contest. I doubled up with these on my vacation week and didn't have anyone around to take a pic of me with them. I think one was 20lbs and the other 24lbs...bigger scored either a 62 or 65. I know the one on the left looks like a jake because of the fan, but it's actually not. They were propped up against a box in the the back of the pick-up because that's the only way I could get the fans to stay out, both had spurs over 1". One shot took both, bigger dropped on the spot but I had to chase the smaller one down.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

lol brezer i don't call my self good either but this is the first contest i been in to tho but i'll try to do my best and get the best biggest turkey they are in the field.but the contest is to have fun and hutn safe but its for bragging rights too so stomp them in the ground

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

that's pretty good "breezer." you can tell they are mature toms, jakes will have the middle 3 tail feathers sticking out further than the rest. the older toms will be more perfect and rounded.

here is a picture of a tom last year that had a 13" plus beard on him, we called this one "turkeyzilla".

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

I call that a jerky appetizer, supper and tomorrow's lunch.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

thats what it look to me too is an appertizer and my belly grawling as i think about it lmao

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Now that's what we are looking for!!;)With a few like him the other teams don't stand a chance!! :D

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

you got that right we need to get a few of them and lay the smack down on the other teams

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

ok this is what i found out today i went to go scouting to find a me a seacond place tohunt incase my first choice don't work out and i found some really good sign and i put up a other ground blind thereand a game camera to see which turkey i'm goin to blast this saturday and then i came back home and i got one of them cameras thats the hand held tv with it and i got home and turned it on and it already had 4 big ol turkeys on it already so i shoud get a good size turkey to lay the smake down on the other teams lol

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

that sounds great.

i am going to be placing 4 trail cams this weekend on a some different properties so i can figure out when they are coming through.

i do a lot of preseason scouting and and calling just to test the waters. this is the last weekend for us before the madness begins. 2 months of nothing but turkey hunting.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

i here that martin thats wht i do and i end up getting one the first day and then go back the next day on the other peice of land and get nuther then i on't hunt no more lol

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

lol, you waited all winter for just 2 days of hunting, then it's over in a hurry... and then it is back to waiting.

i would probably be the same, but i have to see that our hunters get their toms first. i guide a lot of turkey hunting so i usually don'thunt for myselftill mid to late may.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

lol i hear that i might take and guide a littel my self this year i got my younger brothers and my littel cuzens that what to go hunting so i might take and let them shoot one afther i do

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

that is great, get them out there. at the very least you get to double your hunting for the year.

every year, my favorate hunting is taking some local kids out to do all of our doe management. we all have a blast. i think this year we will set up some tents and have everyone camp in the woods.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

yeap i know i told them to get there guns ready and their gear and we will go hunting this year and try out their skills lol

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

This was ol wapitiscott and my camp for almost 30yrs. what some good times we had in it, we never had a year that we didn't have a few young fellers tagging along with us, sure glad you guy are going to take the young guy out, who knows maybe they will return the favor when y'all are old and feble. ;)[/align]

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

yea they might do that one day when i'm old and woren out

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Saturday is youth day in SC,my season doesn't start until the 1st though. We'll be out hopefully for a morning hunt before my son's baseball game, and then back out to see if we can get him one. He's wanting to shoot one with his .20gauge this year, so it'll happen with some luck. I have to admit, if he gets one and we don't see anything else the rest of the season I'll be happy.

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

hey did any one see that turkey jw posted in the trash talk section it looks like he used a cannon or something on it

RE: TEAM 24 - CHECK IN! NEW!!!
 

Well,Gang ~
They are start'n to strut & gobble out here now...only problem is, it snowed 6 inches last night and its gonna snow another 4-5 inches tomorrow. Dang !!! " Alberta Clipper".
Our season opens in a couple of weeks, so hopefully it will be more like Spring by then.

Hey Lost Horn~
Love that Camp photo ...
Sure brings back many great and fond memories of the "Ol' Days".
That place is one heck of a gobbler hot spot too ! I'm sure you will be hunting there againthis year... wish I was there.
Scott
