RE: Team 7 check in
 

Well my season opens in two weeks and it is snowing, in Louisiana! As I sit here, at 9:00 p.m., it is still snowing. It has been snowing since 10:00 this morning. Doesn't seem much like turkey weather. This is a rarity for down here. Going out Sunday morning and listen for gobbling. Supposed to be in the 60's by then. Turkeys aren't gobbling very much now. Hopefully next weeks warm weather will wake them up. They'll start cranking up any day now, if we can just get rid of this winter weather. I guess the groundhog was right this year.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

I feel your pain, super. I'm just 7 miles above the FL line and it is supposed to be 30 tonight....Wow.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Mine opens in like a mounth and there is a foot of snow on the ground.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Are you guys ready to go with a team name yet? Looks like everyone that is checking in has decided on Jelly Heads.

Super Strutter - Your right about that groundhog. I've made a vow to terminate everyone of those little suckers I see this spring. They have really given me the winter blues this year.

The birds are strutting up here in Norhern Indiana with snow on the ground. I saw 4 "full fans'' behind a group of about 20 hens going down the interstate the other day. Com'on April 25th!

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Jelly Heads is fine with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Well, went this morning for that youth hunt. It snowed on us. It never snows down here! Anyway, just wind. We hunted until 10:00 and came home.

I'm headed out in the morning to take another kid before getting ready to preach. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds like Jellyheads wins the name game.

Here's my pics from the camera if you haven't seen them on the main page. Notice the number of jakes and the bearded hen.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

sorry

RE: Team 7 check in
 

JellyHeads it is then. I'm probably one of the oldest, if not the oldest, on our team,and I say it's Jelly Heads!!:DArjuna, the weather will get better, I promise. Hick, how in the hell can ya'll stand all that snow? I would be going crazy, but I guess ya'll are used to it. Let's get ready to slay those longbeards. Man, I'm really getting fired up!!

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Wow, super...you're like 43 years old....dude. :D You might be the only one on our team born before the NWTF!

Anyway, I hate that we have two guys that haven't signed on yet. How long do we give them?

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. I'll give you a report about tomorrow morning. The only drawback is we only have 1 hour to hunt....then I've got to get back to get the fam ready for church.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

I just e-mailed sparrowhawk and jhoffman to see if they would be with us. Both have been off the site for over a month.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Thanks for reminding me how old I am Arjuna, but it seems like every Spring I feel a little younger. Talking turkey makes me feel like a kid again.I would give the two guys about a week. If they don't respond, then we can go to the alternate list. Good luck on your youth hunt. If your like me, I love to cater to others, and I want to make sure their hunt isat least enjoyable, if not successful. Doesn't it just suck when the weather spoils a perfect plan?

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Super- Most definately. Now, don't get me wrong, I do like to drop a bird sometimes, but I especially love calling in one for somebody that has never seen a strutting tom or seen one gobble. There's a big difference when they see the bird gobble than when they hear it. Again, thanks for the encouragment.

Simp-I think you can go ahead and edit our the title of our page to Team 7- Jellyheads.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Well, I'm already back... making breakfast for the fam before we head off to church. That's two mornings in the woods without hearing a gobble. It was really cold, but no wind...

Next week starts the regular season. So come Saturday, I should have a new report.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Thread updated! Jelly Head it is!

Sorry you guys didn't get one Arjuna. You will though.

I also PM'd the 2 remaining members that haven't checked in yet and I've heard nothing as of yet. If they haven't been on the forum in a month, like you say, then we may be picking up 2 alternates it looks like. Simp

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Sounds like we should pick two up from the alternates list.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

That's what it's lookin' like. I emailed them as well, so we'll see if they're around.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Sorry about the hunt. Unfortunately, we cannot make the weather cooperate. The birds aren't gobbling on my place either right now. We got about 2 to 3 inches of snow Friday and I believe the unsettled weather has got them quiet. They just aren't used to the cold and the snow down here this time of year. Guess what though, it will only get better. They should be gobbling this week with highs in the 70's.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Thanks Simp!

This morning's camera pic

RE: Team 7 check in
 

I like this one better...far off..had to crop.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Arjuna, it looks like your ready to go, with all those turkey pics.I've got a couple of pics of a bird that gave me the slip last year a couple of times. He is now a 3 or 4 year old bird. It's going to be fun chasing him around thisyear. His compadre should be easier to get.How many can you kill in Alabama? Looks like you have plenty for a seasons limit.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Nice pics arjuna. still about a foot of snow on the ground here and not seeing any turkeys.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Have we decided to take on two from the alternate list?

Arjuan, you got it going on down there. I can't wait for you to score on one of those long beards.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

On Saturday, I'll be calling and videoing for the landowner. He's 75 years old and can hardly hear. If two come in, then I'll shoot as well, but that morning is for him. After he gets his bird, then I'll work on mine. I've got other places to go and feel pretty confident about them too. So, I may not score Saturday, but I think I'll be on the board by the end of March. We'll see. Thanks for the encouragement.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Welcome to your new team zmschillin and HONKERS. Make sure both of you check in and give a little info about yourselves.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

uh...oh....

I see jghoffman12 is on the site....What happens now?

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Looks like he was to late

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Hmm., I don't know. He did have a while to check in and didn't do so. Nothing against him, but he had his chance.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

That's fine with me, I was just wondering. I looked in the rules and couldn't find one about when you had to check in. However, it did say that the teams were to be selected by March 3. That was over a week ago. I guess it didn't work out for him. I was just thinking that if he was out of town for a week or on vacation, or had a job that took him away for a couple of weeks at a time, that may not be all that fair.

It's fine with me whatever happens and I guess it has already happened. I was just curious.

Now we get to see if our new teammates will show up. I hope we have better luck with them.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Guys, I don't know if we are ever going to get a complete team. Now our alternates have gone AWOL. I pm'd them this morning, so maybe they will check in, but haven't heard from them yet. Are we going to need alternates for our alternates?:eek:

RE: Team 7 check in
 

I think we don't need 'em! Just kidding[8D]

Man, this is crazy!

Super, thanks for pm'ing them. I sure would like to have made a virtual acquaintence with all of our team before my season starts on Saturday.

RE: Team 7 check in
 

Hey team 7, zmschillin checking in here. I will be hunting in the southern part of indiana. My farm has a lot of great birds and I have been successful the past 2 seasons. Also this past season my uncle shot a 27 lb bird w/ 11" beard on this land!

Good luck to everyone and Im happy to be aboard

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

Hey i'm Honkers...aka Russ..a avid Waterfowler and a turkey hunter of 36 years....i'm from Penna...i'll be hunting the rolling hills of Northeaster Pa....and i think i'm the oldiest!!!! and JellyHeads is fine.....Honkers!!!

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

Welcome to the team guys!

Good looking bird, Honkers.

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

I checked the camera today, for the place I'll be hunting Saturday. No turkey pics. I found some fresh scratching just outside the camera angle, but not much... I hope it was a solitary gobbler. He's been coming in by himself in some of the other pics. I'm going out to roost one Friday evening. Wish me luck.

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

Good luck Sat. Arjuna and welcome aboard HONKERS and zmschillin. Sounds like you two will help the team a lot. Looks like we have a great team. I believe many longbeards will fall to the JellyHeads this Spring. The birds aren't gobbling down here where I am, but this warm weather should heat them up. I went out this afternoon and saw four fly up to roost. I know one was a hen, but don't know about the other three. I didn't want to hang around and spook them. One looked like a pretty large bird, so I'm hoping it was one of the two longbeards I have already seen. Don't know for sure because they just aren't gobbling for some reason. Season opens next Friday. Surely they'll be gobbling some by then, I hope. If not, I'll just have to bag a silent bird.;)

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

The snow is still on the ground here but my brother(cay4redneck) got a pic of a bearded hen back in are woods yesterday. And a buck with the antlers still on.

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

Hick,
Nice pics. The deer down here still have thier antlers, too. It's usually during turkey season that we'll start to find them.

No pics for the last couple of days...I moved my camera to a different spot on the field and haven't had any shots yet....the turkeys have moved to the next property. That's probably good, in that they'll be back in a couple of days and then hang around. Hope they are there Saturday!

RE: Team 7 "Jelly Heads"
 

20 hrs and I'm in the woods! I'm going to make a blind today out there for me and my 75 year old buddy.
