2nd bird

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Well my fellow hunter's my hunt for the longbeard is over.
I'm sorry to say I walked out empty handed.
If I had used a shotgun it would have been an succesful hunt.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Hi everyone just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to be a part of team 3. I hope I can contribute with a big Tom. Our Pa season opens this Sat. and I will be hooking up next week with my longtime hunting partner ( Rob/Pa Bowyer ) to enjoy the the Turkey woods. Good luck to all and be safe.

ANOTHER BIRD FOR TEAM #3!!!!

I killed a tom in Missouri yesterday morning. I called in three toms with a hen at 915 AM. They put on one heck of a show strutting and gobbling like crazy. The new Winchester Xtend Range sure performed for me. At 42 yards he dropped like a rock. And just for good measure the other two toms put a good whooping on him after he went down. Thebird's head, neck, and chest were peppered with shot.

The bird weighed 23 lbs, 10" beard, and 1" spurs.

Hey Team #3

How's everybody doing , I hope you' all did better than I did.
Can anbody tell me how the team ranks in this contest.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

I hesitate to post any numbers for fear that I will offend those that are in control of the contest. It should be noted that I am in no way helping to run the contest and these numbers are totally unofficial. I tabulated them today (April 23) from the score card thread with the last entry I saw which was Goose11 I believe. Of course, some people havekilled a birdbut not posted their score so they arenot tabulated in these results.

Team 1. Six qualifiers for 363.725 points
Team 2. Six qualifiers for 333.125 points
Team 3. Three qualifiers for 214.9375 points
Team 4. Nine qualifiers for 522 points
Team 5. Three qualifiers for 195.7 points
Team 6. Eight qualifiers for 512.125 points
Team 7. Two qualifiers for 121.3125 points
Team 8. Five qualifiers for333.26 points
Team 9. Five qualifiers for 333.75 points
Team 10. Three qualifiers for 161.925 points

Put another way....Standings as of today.....

1. Team 4....522
2. Team 6....512.125
3. Team 1....363.725

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Well let's hope there are more like myself who have the May hunt and can
harvest and bring our score up.
Good luck to you all.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

I know the Pennsylvania boys just started up so there are probably others that hunt in May that can put up some scores for us.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

I agree with AE...I pulled one in for the TV show opening Saturday, now it's about me.;)

RE: Team #3's Official Roost

Congrat's again you scored one for the team.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Sorry guys, I didn't have any luck during my first turkey hunting season. It wasn't from lack of trying though.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

That's all right REEF don't feel bad I didn't score on my hunt also BUT if had used a shot gun that bird would have been mine.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

deeg,

You do realize, of course, that only your best bird counts towards the contest, right?

Great job...although I can't imagine how much money you've spent this turkey season...[8D]...my wife would kill me!

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Strut&Rut I know that the best bird is the only one that counts for the team. Also, I know many great people throughout the country and I really didn't spend that much money this season due to the fact that I'm military. I met most of the people I hunt with during the many years of calling competitvely in turkey calling contest. Every where I hunted this season I really didn't spend that much money. Its a give and take kind of situation. I take many of the same friends to my place in ohio, so it goes back and forth. Next year I'm going out west. Before I die I'm going to kill turkeys in all 49 states. Hope you had a great season. GOD bless!

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Thanks Antler Eater, for doing the extra work to keep the scores updated!!

I bagged my fifth and last gobbler on tuesday, may 9th. Its my best score yet. My friend and I got a double at 1230pm.

my bird was 20lbs, 11 1/4" beard, 1 1/8"spurs=65
this should raise our score to 415!!

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Antler EaterI took the scores you posted and figured each teams average score per bird. The scores arent tallied this way but at least you can say that we're killing some dandy birds compared to the rest of the teams.

1 team 8 71.8 per bird
2 team 369.2
3 team 6 64.7
4 team 10 64.1
5 team 563.4
6 team 9 61
7 team 7 59.2
8 team 4 58
9 team 1 57.4
10 team 2 53.7

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

For you two that have calculated scores, try taking out the non-typical birds and see if that makes a difference.

I'm sure it will ;)

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

drhntr178, I already had you scored for a 65 kill in our 413 score. :(:)

Our average score per bird is pretty good that is true.

Strut&Rut, no doubt you are right about the scoring and multiple bearded birds, but the rules say we score our best bird so what can I say...

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Antler,


Yeah, I know. I questioned Pat about that nearly a month ago, with no response. Maybe he'll make a decision about that one when he has some time, as there's been a slew of non-typical's harvested this year it seems...

Last year I think Pat actually had multiple categories, with "most birds" and "best average", if I remember correctly...

Only 6 guys on our team have connected? Pick it up you guys...;)

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

It would be nice if I we could count all turkeys we've killed all year. So far I got seven and going to hunt in two other states before season's end. But I do agree with the non-typicals...it's a whole new category. Well, my highest was 90 something. I'll have to recheck scores in a bit. Take care and hope we all pull out on top. Maybe I can donate some birds to others on the team. Take care and I wish the best of luck to you all! GOD bless!

David Ellis

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

drhntr178, You have had a fantastic season!

Congratulations!

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

thanks antler eater, it will definitely be a tough season to top, but I know i am gonna try next year. I am already planning hunts for 07, gonna go for the slam in one year. I can hardly wait...

good luck to you and everyone else

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Fellas I need some help here,

I just shot a huge tom last night. Here's the deal it was a multiple bearded tom and i need some help to score him.

Weight 20 lbs
Beard 1= 10.5 inches
Beard 2= 5 inches
Beard 3= 2 inches
Right spur= 7/8 inch
Left Spur= 7/8 inch

I would greatly appreciate the help and if someone could post pictures for me that would be great. Thanks and i hope this helps boost the team up a bit.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Good for youDeer Tracker
I wish I could help you with the scoring but I don't know to much about how to do that kinda thing.
But WOW a multiple bearded tom WOW man that's great & a big bird too boot.
Congrat's again.

RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Deer Tracker,

If I copied your numbers right it would appear that your score is 72.5

AWESOME!

Congratulations!


Your score is 20 + 8.75 + 8.75 + 35 = 72.5
