:patriot: Hello all !

Another great contest has started and I plan on getting a big guy this spring !

Almost all our team members have checked in we are only missing 3 members
Treebeard, gun870guy, bhw
I sent them pm's several days ago so if anyone knows them let em know to check in.

I'll be hunting Merriam's her in Colorado April 11- May 24.

Where is everyone hunting this spring and when does your season start ?

I'm chasing them in southwestern Ontario. The deep freeze has pasted. Looks like the big flocks are starting to break up. Seeing a few toms starting to strut.

I'll be chasing them here in Iowa with the bow season opens April 13th

Spent the day sighting and patterning my new to me 835. Looks like Heavy 13 in combo 5-6-7s 2oz. 3in will be my shell of choice.
Mossberg 835, 24 in barrel, JellyHead .690 choke.
30yds.
151 hits in an 8in circle. 11 in the bullseye.


40 yds.




Others shot.
Heavy 13, #5s, 2 oz, in 3in.
117 hits, 30 yards


Winchester CopperPlated #5s, 1 7/8 oz, in 3in.
100 hits in 8in circle, 30 yards


New Federal 3rd Degree with full choke. 3in.
89 hits in 3in circle, 30 yards


Federal 3rd Degree with Jelly Head choke.
101 hits in 3in circle, 30 yards


And last, and most disappointing of the rounds. The one I thought would be closest to Heavy 13, the one everyone I know is bragging about...
Winchester Longbeards
1 3/4oz #5s, in 3in.
86 hits in 8 in circle, at 30 yards.

Hi guys,

I just took another look at the contest rules.....

We need a Captain by Tomorrow !

I can't do it just to much going on.

I suppose I could be a captain. If no one else wants to take the role.

You got my vote!!!

bhw checking in! I'm still in predator mode for a couple of weeks. I'll be hunting turkey in NY and our season starts May 1st.

Good Luck to all on team #4!!

iayotehunter you have my vote !

He has my vote also. Season opens here in the blue grass state April 18th.

So we have a captain do we want a team name ?

Unless someone wants to I can do the graphic for our team.

How about beard collectors, armed and dangerous, ridge runners, the terminators or something else. :fighting0007:

How about DirtNap Cowboys, Longbeard Cutters or FanFolders

+1 for FanFolders

+2 for fan folders

Hey gang I am here :)

I am good with the captain vote for iayotehunter and Fan Folders sounds good+3

I like Fan Folders and congrats to iayotehunter our captain.

Same here!

Another vote for Fan Folders.

Are you a Shot Gunner or a Bow hunter for turkey?

I have a shoulder problem, so it's a shotgun for me.

I'll go bow but halfway through the season if I can't close the deal I'll try with the gun

I'm a shot gunner although I bought a used Browning youth bow that needs some things because I want that extra challenge and am looking forward to being a bow hunter !

At this point I know nothing about bows but will be ready by next spring with my bow and stand by shotgun.:barmy:

Alright guys we have 6 votes for fan folders which is majority so I'm going to go ahead and send a pm to arrowmaster to have him change the name

Gun for me. I took this Mossberg 835 in trade for a matching set of turkey calls. It's an earlier model that had the ugly rattle can camo job. I tore it down, did a little searching and found a stock I liked, got an oversized billet alumn. safety button, and had it hydro dipped. Added a true glo scope, and Jelly Head .690 choke.

Nice work Mastevt , I've been wanting to update my Rem 870 just like that, maybe I'll get some time to do it this summer.

Thanks! What part of CO. do you live in? I use to live in Longmont.

TBT. My 2013 Kansas Rio, taken outside of Wakeenne, KS. Taxidermy by Timberland Taxidermy of Cameron, MO. Cole is one of the best I have seen!

I live 8 miles S. of Colorado Springs in Fountain Co.

That is a fantastic looking mount, wish they where closer to me.
