RE: Team 11
Our season in Ohio starts the 21. I will be taking the ole mathews to the woods again this year. Bowhunting birds is such a rush I love it. Went out today scouting and heard birds at all 6 farms I hunt. Even got watch one struter with a few hens.

RE: Team 11
We roosted 13 gobblers and 10 hens yesterday!
Well we went to the spot where we seen one struting and one had a beard draggin the gorund!
We got in there..mad a Owl Hoot.....no response...then 3 Owls went off the walls and 2 gobblers were responding!
We got set up at 5:45.....started purring....bam...here they came!
Came straigh in but couldn't get a shot....they went down into a hollow and gobbles their heads off!!
We quit calling...so they would come to us...15mins later there was one walking left and another came out from behind us and was heading towards the other.
The Left Walker gobbled...His head cam back up and BAM...the Russian 12ga. 3 1/2 did the trick
HIS SCORE: 56.5625
These pictures were takin out of the woods, because I didn't have my camera with me!
Too bad my cameraman didn't show or else we would be watching awesome footage!

RE: Team 11
What a day for Team 11!!!!!
Here's me with my first rio!!! Left work at 12, head out to woods.. winds blowing 35mph.... First spot, dudes there(public land) secong spot... another guy... 3rd spot... no ones hangin out... I got out and started calling, didn't think anything was gonna happen cause the wind was blowing so hard... sat for a bit and thought of going to the other side of the field when I caught movement on the other side of the tree... I had my gun in my lap... not ready.
Box call was on the ground so I reached down and gave some real soft one handed yelps and raised the gun... bird strut right in and ate a load of Remington lead.
This is the first Rio out of about 20 kills, being from upstate NY and trying to live up to my old man... I immediate called and bragged about it, since he still aint shot one....
