We can still take this contest! Mine turn starts this coming Monday.. It will be a long first day of hunting as I will be working nights Sunday night.. Oh well I will have my blind to take a nap in if I feel I need to.. LOL I have a very itchy trigger finger right now! I did post a few birds I saw today while taking my blind up where I will soon be hunting.. We will get it done guys so keep at em!!

We are doing quite well with 5 hunters getting birds! Congrats guys!! I hope we can improve it as the other teams will be as well.. The main thing is to enjoy your hunting!!

I went to the same area I have been hunting this year. I heard a group gobbling and they were a ways off so I headed straight to them at a fast pace. This part of the national Forrest was burned off so I could move fast and not make any sound. I was getting closer and I could tell that two were going straight ahead and one was heading to the top of the mountain. At first I went after the two, but they flew across a deep creek and decided to head up the mountain. I could hear this turkey hammering up there. I got as close as I dare set up and started calling. Once he responded I shut up. He just stayed there and gobbled his brains out. I decided to move on him and get above him. As I was going around the back side he decided to move towards my original position. I put my decoy out and started calling he answered and he was very close 60yards or so. There was a little knob in front of me and I could not see him. He would gobble and gobble and gobble some more but wouldn't move. I would call about every twenty gobbles or so. He did that for about twenty plus minutes or longer. At this point my arms and legs are going numb. He gobbles again and I could tell that he had moved twenty yards down the hill, and the whole thing starts again. He would gobble but not move, he was waiting for me to come to him. He finally sounded like he was getting a little closer and I turned away from him and yelped and cut hard. Next thing I see his head popping up the hill. He got to thirty yards and stuck his head up( the woods were so open I didn't want to take the chance of him seeing me) so
I shot him. I walked up to him said a prayer thanking The Lord for this moment.
James 1:17 For every good and perfect gift comes from above.

Sounds like a quite a bit of work trying to get him to come in.. Keeping at him had paid off.. Nice job! Congrats on another bird for our team!!

Here is Swampbuster's number 2 bird!! Way to go my friend !! I am not sure about the spurs.. I am guessing 7/8 inches for now.. anything different let me know.. I am using your home state as...

This what I have for a score on this one.. Your score is 18.625 + 8.75 + 8.75 + 19 = 55.125

Alright guys!!
