$166 and you get 2 birds. I know absolutely no one there lol. they have public ground and I aint ready to stop killing turkeys this year. talked to a fella that used to live there and he gave me a little advice and a where to start. the why is because I can be in WV at the hunt spot in about an hour and 40 minutes. would have been KY but their season ended last week and PA is one bird (however I may decide to hit there yet) not at all personal bud. just hope this late in their season the locals are either tagged out or done hunting.

I bought my bonus point to try and draw an Arizona goulds turkey tag today. Not sure how many years this will take but looking forward to the chance to complete my Royal Slam.

Hi guys..

I have been out hunting after working all night and have seen 2 toms. 1 nice tom with a hen and 1 very big tom this morning with 10 hens with him. I will try and give you all the complete run down tomorrow evening. If not Thursday evening for sure. I hope you all do not want to kick me off the team with what had happened this morning. It bothers me on this one. I did sneak up on 3 birds this morning as well It took me an hour and a half to get within 35 yards of them. That was when I got a good look at them and found out all 3 were hens.. So I have been hard at itevery morning anyways.

Good Luck to everyone that is still hunting!

killed one in WV this morning at 8:33am. not scored him yet but he will up grade from my ohio birds.

oh and I finally picked a name for my gun..... "Perfect Storm"

Truck is still broke, it will cost between $800.00 and $950.00 to get fixed.
Wish me luck.
Good Luck with all that still have open season.

Dang Snapper! That didn't take long! Ya must have some serious skills to go in blind and knock one down that quick! Nice work!!! Get me a score to post, we surely need those points!!! Congrats!!
Man, I feel your pain Phil! Just hope in the end it turns out better for you than it did for me. I doubt anyone is ready to kick ya off the team......well...not just yet anyways! It's easy to see you are bustin your butt to try and get it done, and we love hearin your stories. So keep after em man!!!
Good luck guys!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know about serious skill. but I do take it extremely serious and have been a factor in the demise of pushin 200 turkeys. I would rather turkey hunt than deer hunt and I am already putting in time checking out deer in the evenings and got plans to set 10 or so cams for deer right after turkey season is over. I live to hunt and hunt to live. now with that being said I did get a little lucky on this bird.

I was at a pull off at first light and nothing gobbled so I drove about a half mile and stopped again. after 5 minutes it was time to move on. well 3rd spot was the charm. I headed in up over a finger ridge. as I was climbing I heard a bird way off behind me. got to the top and he gobbled but was still a ways off so I dropped into a drainage and up the other side. still gobbling. I got to about 150 yards and set up. I called and nothing. crap! called again and nothing. so I sat still waiting for him to show. because surly he was coming silent. after about 20 minutes a crow sounded off and he gobbled. still in the same spot. great a stubourn bird! so he went back to gobbling every few minutes on his own and I went into kill mode. backed out and circled him. come in above him. he gobbled at about 125 yds down over a lip in the hill. I had 75-80 to get to that lip. my plan was get with in 25 and crawl to the edge. well I went about 10 yards and watching ahead of me. Bam! a bird just sort of materializes. I wait til he turned broadside and stuck his head down away from me to pick at something and I hit the ground. no tree just me and the forest floor. he turned back and started toward me. then Bam. there is another one. awesome. and they are working right to me! I picked out a log and if they got on my side I knew they were in range. well the first got to the log and jumped up on it. then on to my side. he was about to get a face full of 7s when he turned up hill and away. I looked at the second one through the scope and he had a thick beard so I let the first walk as the second came up on the log. he jumped off and came toward me and just like the other he turned. BOOM. "Perfect Storm" (my new gun t/c encore is named perfect storm) thundered and sent forth a 3 inch 2oz load of hevi 7s. and down went a great bird and my best of the year. 44 steps. he is a small bird in weight at 16lb 9oz, 10.5 inch beard, 1 1/8 and 1 3/16 inch spurs and man are they thick.

the whole time they were coming they never gobbled again.

Great Job snapper!! Nice detail on your story also. Kinda had my heart beating while trying to visualize that!!
