Ok guys I have some bad news... I never made it to my blind this morning.. I was stopped up by a Tom and 2 hens.. I quickly dodged into some small pine trees and gave a few calls off my pot call and in they came.. The good news is I am tagging out! I am not sure if this one is an upgrade or not yet.. It has a 9 1/2 inch beard and I am going with a 7/8 inch right spur and a 13/16 left spur. I am going to wait for the weight as I weigh them at the tagging station. It does not open until 8 am .. I shot him at 6:15 this morning.. So if it is not an upgrade we will still win part of this contest for sure! I am some glad I passed on those jakes! I hope we will be the winners all the way threw it! Good Luck to anyone that is still hunting.

Sorry guys but this one will not give me any sort of upgrade as it only weighed 17 lbs. 11 ozs.

Congrats Phil! Do know you've been hunting hard and I'm glad to hear you tagged out. Can't wait for pictures man!

Sorry guys but, it will not be any upgrade for me. But, it will add to our overall score..

Congrats! I'll take a fortunate encounter over a good plan any day. Who do we have still hunting?

Phil from Maine - OUT
Jepcho - OUT
camokenny - OUT
Talondale - OUT
bigc870 - OUT
swampbuster - OUT
kellyguinn - OUT
blackheel -OUT
SouthernStrut56 -?
mmorgan9812 - ?
dano111 - ?

Thanks guys! I am not sure who we have left hunting right now.. I will have to check as most are either done or soon will be..

While I am not 100 % sure.. I do think that SouthernStrut56 is out as well.

That leaves a question on whether mmorgan9812 or dano111 is still out there hunting or not.

I just checked the threads for Teams 3 and 6 and they both have a couple hunters hunting to the end of May. This could be close!

I know I have been watching them.. I am more concerned about team 6 though. But, any team can capture the title if any of them posts a big bird like camo's. I still think we will have it as it goes by the best bird per hunter and not the total score.. I hope so as we have a great team going this year and would love to keep it all together..

I still have one tag in neb till the end of may. It will only help our all bird score more then likely. Probably won't beat the 5 beard bird. I will be headed west on Friday.

Nonsense camokenney you have to think positive! You could get the world record merriam! Good luck to you

Good Luck to you camokenny! I hope you can get another nice bird to go with our standings.. Team 6 needs at least another hunter bagging a bird with at least a 80 score or better.. We all know it can happen! I am just trying to think positive that no team can beat us! Good Luck to all that maybe out there hunting! We are all routing for you to get a bird up on the scoring posts.. Even a nice jake can be the winning bird! So good luck to any of you out there hunting..
