RE: Team 7 check in
ORIGINAL: maglite Well I was out feedin cows today and had my 223 with me to shoot varmits if I saw them and for some reason didnt have my shotgun or calls with me! Anyway came up on a couple good birds struttin with a couple of hens. I decided to take one at about 20 yards!!!! All I got was a sack full of feathers!!!!!!!!b 223 wont penetrate a turkey!!!!!!! Dang I was mad. I shouldnt have tried it but i thought 20 yards no problem!!! I messed up!!! |
RE: Team 7 check in
You shot a turkey with a .223?....Why? I don't get it.
Anyway, sorry guys that I haven't been hunting much. It's official. I just found out that I'm moving to Florida to become one of the pastors at Gulf Breeze UMC. It's a little nerveracking. I never thought I'd leave Hartford. So, my mind has been on other things. I'll still try to get a bird, soon. Happy hunting. |

Well guys, my second Tenneessee trip was a complete fiasco. The weather got me again. I hunted Thurs.- Sun. and saw a grand total of two longbeards, both with plenty of hens. It rained all dayThurs. and Friday. I couldn't even hunt Friday morning because of the heavy rain. Saturday was cold and windy. Sunday morning was cold and foggy. The birds didn't gobble at all. Very few hunters were tagging birds during this time. I seem to pick the worst times to go on hunting trips. I am planning one more trip to Tenn. This time I will make sure the weather will cooperate. I will be back on my property for the next two weekends to close out the season in LA. Seems like the season just opened and it closes in two weeks here.

I know it will but it didnt. I just had my 223 and I know I shouldnt have tried it but I was excited and wanted a bird!!! Still mad that all I got was feathers!!!

RE: Team 7 check in
No birds yet guys? This has been the toughest season for me in a long time. The weather has really played a big part this year. Tonight, April 14th, we are supposed to have a frost. Are you kidding me? Thirty-five degrees on April14 in Louisiana? That's the way this season has been going. It's either been raining, or sunny with 25 mph winds. My season ends in LA. this weekend. I'm still going to try Tenn. a couple more times, so I'm not giving up. I've got one smart bird on my place now who has been hunted by four other hunters since the season opened. They have educated him well. If you call to him, he shuts up and goes the other way. I almost got him last Wed. Had him at 40 to 50 yards but couldn't see himbecause of theterrain. Eventually got a clear look at him at 65 yds(later walked it off), but decided not to take the shot. Wasn't sure of the distance and had some brush in the way. I'm going to work on himthe rest of the season. I figured someone on this team would have got one by now. I still believe our team will end up doing good. Who's season hasn't opened yet? How are the rest of you doing? Has it been tough on you as it has on me? Lets here some info. Been quiet here lately.

RE: Team 7 check in
Our season opened today. I don't have a permit to hunt this week though but I have one for the next 5 weeks! I think a lot of our guys seasons haven't opened yet.

RE: Team 7 check in
My season doesn't open till the 23rd. Not in a big hurry due to the weather. It doesn't even feel like spring. Where is all of that global warming stuff they talk about?
Me and another HNI member are going to spend a couple days roughing it under the stars at a state park loaded with birds and the only people that use it are mountain bikers! Can't wait. |
RE: Team 7 check in
Sounds like you guys are going to have a good time. Good luck!
