ok thank you JW and welcome TurkeyGirl, so tell us a bit about yourself where do you live and hunt, how many birds have you gotten and what is your biggest so far?

RE: team 19 check in
 

Landed the property I was looking to hunt. There are birds there so all should be good. I will most likely let my son take his first.

RE: team 19 check in
 

thats fine AR im going out saturday but my first priority is it will be my friends first turkey hunt so i want him to get one, im pretty much the guide/caller for him, then i start working for myself and my brother-in-law, but i have a peice of property where it will be me picking out the bird i want, there are a couple multi-beard HUGE birds there so i will be holding out for one of them, unless a monster gobbler walks in front of me like it did last year

Thanks and I apologize again for being a slacker,lol. Well about myself...I have a Bachelor's degree in outdoor education/camp admin, then went back to school this past fall for a 2 year nursing program, which is why I wasn't on here...it's crazy crazy busy. I've been hunting for almost 10 years, will be this fall. I hunt deer with shotgun and bow, turkeys with shotgun, and smallgame. I have about 10 turkeys to my name, and I'd say I'm even more passionate about hunting them than I am deer...I think part of it is turkeys can play mind games with you,lol. I had about 3-4 years where the turkey population kind of decreased and I was not putting a tag on a bird for those years, then last spring, the ice broke and I put a tag on a nice spring jake and then put my fall tag on a tasty youngster from the spring brood.

My biggest bird....a 20 lb gobbler with 8.5" beard and 1 1/4 inch and 3/4 inch spurs. I've tagged more jakesthan anything, but it's alright, love to eat turkey!Missed a big bird last spring, but hoping he's still around this year. I know a few spots on state land alsowhere there are turkeys thatI need to scout out more. Season starts May 1, but because of school, I miss the first 2 days[:o];)I can't wait though, being in the woods in the spring mornings is like church for me:D

Good luck everyone, and I'll be more active in here! Keep after those birds and enjoy the whole hunt. I've got to go study;)but I'll see if I can post some bird photos in the main forum later.
