Team 3 Slamming Thunder
#183
Ok Team here is my first bird and hopefully I will be getting another with a size or 2 bigger.. But for now another one to help the team. As stated he is a small bird, weighing 12lbs and 10 ounces.. Sporting a 3 inch beard and spurs which are questionable.. Yessah I think I shot the smallest jake in HNI history. But he will be added to our team score and hopefully my next bird will be the biggest... As colbea stated though I will enjoy it.. I am not sure if I am allowed to add them or not but I did measure 1/16 inch for each one..
Total Score is 19.875

I know it should be a great eating bird,, I also am aware that the lead is going to be short lived as some of the other teams have birds that has not been posted as of yet. But it still is not over I have seen some big birds and they will not play right now.. So it is not over yet! I still have until June 3rd to get it done and passed on another jake yesterday.The one I shot is only 1 of 2 jakes I have seen this year and hopeful I can nail us a big bird to help keep us in the lead. We will not go down without a fighting chance!!

First of all before I forget I want to thank superstrutter for doing a fine job at getting the scores all kept up.. I feel he is doing a great job at keeping all the team scores up as well as the number of birds. Also thank you for posting those birds while I have been away. I might head back to camp for another day or 2 but I am thinking hunting that field in my home town here. The ones that own it do not hunt and across the street is posted with no hunting.. There has been 3 big birds hanging around that whole area so hopefully I can catch one in that back field I will be hunting in. If anyone else is still out there hunting I hope you can get a nice one.. Good Luck !

I hate to say but I am inclined to agree with superstrutter.. Even if I end up getting a big bird like BIG DONNIE has gotten for us I am afraid it wouldn't do it.. But I will not let the team go down easy.. If anyone on the team can get us an upgrade or their first bird it would be great right now.. Team 1 has birds to come in and be counted yet.. I think that there is another team that has a couple more birds as well.
