Well guys I just copied this from team 6's thread from our friend Zim..

Sorry guys I hate to see things going this way.. Lets just keep our cool and not let this one ruffle our feathers.. There is no need for this stuff or any of us to get involved in a flame war because of someone's actions..

As we all know the one that has been trash talking is from this poster that is trying hard to incite a flame war.. I find that to be very un-sportsman like and we should have no part of it.. If you go back you can see where he came on our team and started this around page 49..

After today four days left until the end of this contest. I think we will be able to pull this thing out

I am hoping so.. We all have worked hard just like all the other teams have.. It surely is to close to call right now..

The smack talk thread I have been on more than once along with a couple of others.. This statement is very clearly false...

I have seen Phil post a lot on trash talk thread. In the spirit of trash talking does MVTH stand for Most Valuable Turkey Hater.

It would be great if one of the other members roll in with a jake or Tom as previously stated by Phil

Well team it is winding down with only a few more days left of hunting left. I know we gave it a great shot and we will soon know where we stand.. Naturally I hope we finish right where we are but, no matter what we do have a great team here. Everyone has tried quite hard at laying the smack down on those birds.. Great job at getting it done guys!

Now that we have shot our birds.. What do you do with it after it has been taken care of? This pertains to the tail and such? My 2 birds this year I have the first tail fan now drying.. My second one I decided to try and cape it out. While I am not very sure on how it will come out I just thought I would give it a try. If it does not come out all that great I still will have a fan from it any ways so nothing to lose except time. Now with the spurs how do you keep them from scaling and falling apart ? I have not got this part of it to work right with me.. Any ideas? I would like to keep them to go with my fans or whatever. Thanks guys..

I try to make a fan out of every turkey I shoot. I want the walls of my man cave to be turkey fans. Who needs wallpaper

I hear you.. Do you know how to keep the spurs from drying and having the outer layer from peeling off? I want to save my spurs as well..

What I do for the spurs is cut the leg with a saw, about an inch above and below the spur, so you have about a 2 1/2 inch piece of leg with the spur. Next I clean the inside of the bone with a thin wire brush, like a 22 lr cleaning brush or something. Then I skin it. Peel all the scaly skin off and sand it some if needed to make sure its clean. Fill the inside with borax and rub on the bone and leave it for a couple weeks. Then clean it off good and youre left with that 2.5 inch piece of leg which is just spur and bone, no skin or flesh left to rot or dry and peel/crack. I think they look cool that way.
