RE: Team 17 Sign In!!!!
Okay team...got three down. Killed two in Georgia and one in Alabama. I also made a trip to Mississippi for a morning hunt, but was swarmed by Friday hunters. I couldn't believe the number of hunters I came across on Upper Sardis WMA. Simply amazing! Sat down and started calling at flydown and had three different people creep up on me. Didn't hear anything gobble, but around 10am I did finally shock a turkey into gobbling. He had 12 hens and walked right onto the non hunting area due to a controlled burn. Here's a run down on the hunts that took place while I was gone.
1st bird
Big Lazer Creek WMA, Georgia
Killed him on Georgia's opener 3/22 using a Browning Gold 3.5
3.5 Nitros 4x5x7
35 yards
24 pounds
10 3/4" beard
1 1/8" spurs
Your score is 24 + 11.25 + 12.5 + 21.5 = 69.25
2nd bird
Cedar Creek WMA, Georgia
Killed him on 3/25
21 pounds
10.5" beard
1" spur
Your score is 21 + 10 + 10 + 21 = 62
3rd bird
Skyline WMA, AL
Killed him on 3/27
25 pounds
10.75" beard
1 1/8" spurs
Your score is 25 + 11.25 + 11.25 + 21 = 68.5
I've got alot of hunting left and don't know if I want to register these birds yet. One is a real nice one, but I've got alot more hunting left. Still have Oklahoma and Kansas coming up. Those Rio's will score well. Will post pics in a bit.
