Well guys, that dows it for me this year. It is the last day, and there is no way I am gonna make it out. It has been fun guys and I just screwed up when I missed that bird, but there is always next year. Good luck, I will keep checking in you guys.
Thanks a bunch,
Brent

Well boys here is bird #1, didnt realize he was so small til it was too late. Not that it would have mattered. Ill work on a bigger one now. 16 lbs, 4 inch beard 1/2 inch spurs. If I did it right he scores 34. If I need to post somewhere else let me know.

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Great birds guys! Hope to get out this weekend, saw 4 jakes on the opener; waitin for the big boys.

Checking in.

Still hard at it. I've had numerous birds just out of shotgun range. Some come in, some strut by. Tons of action but no shots. I swear if I'd leave my damn shotgun at home and take my bow I'd have one down.

This morning I watched one in a tree up until 6:30 when he finally flew down. He gobbled to my very subtle calls and I thought he'd lock wing into me, he dropped out of the tree, met up with some hens and away he went.

I've been within 60 yards of several lonbeards, I needed a few more yards. Damn flea infested rats with wings. [8D]

Atleast your seeing birds,just a matter of time before you put one on the ground Rob.Good luck.

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Another bird down guys, this one is a little better...20lbs., 10 3/4 inch beard and 1 inch spurs...Killed this morning at 7:40, he gobbled a lot right around the point from me, didnt think he was going to come around finally he did... Went over to where he was and he had crawled up under a tree top, went to pull him out and pulled his tail feathers out, like to never have got him out...Oh well, all in all a great morning...

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Nice bird!

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Congrats on another bird jwork.

Ok guys heres the deal. I understand that your captain has not checked in your birds. We have to keep up with this and pm's and emails have been sent by your team with no response from your captain. We need this info to keep on top of the contest. As of now Recurver167 is the interm captain until your captain returns. Im not trying to stir up trouble for anyone but we need to keep on top of the scores so no one gets left out. I dont want there to be any hard feelings but we are trying to keep things in order here... Thanks Arrowmaster.

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Ok I have recurver167 and jworks birds recorded. I will post this in the captains post. Recurver167 please post other scores from this point until oneshot returns. Thanks...

Sorry guys, I went turkeyless this spring. I was busy chasing off treaspassers and had 3 birds strut by my barrel just out of range. Interesting season. There was a highlight that I put Matt / PA on his second bird of the season and his life the last day, Memorial Day. That closed the season out wonderfully.

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Thats cool.It's not always putting meat in the freezer that counts.

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Me, also birdless.

Had a 20 yard shot at a jake, but the shell in my gun was screwed up. It didnt even make make a loud noise or kick when I shot. All the shot just kinda rolled out of the barrel, so I was pretty disapointed. I actually stalked these birds for about 30 minutes before I shot too. It was fun though, I had a great birdless season.:D

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Thats to bad,it must have gotten wet somehow.Atleast you had fun and thats what really counts.:D

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

Couldnt find any turkeys in the bush this season!
Have to wait till the fall.

RE: Team 9 King of Beards official thread
 

On a bit of a serious note, I think all the Toms crossed the highway and havent been back. I saw several small jakes and a couple of hens, that was it. Shooting or not, still love gettin outdoors and hopefully in the fall I can take one with the bow!
