RE: Team #3's Official Roost
 

Here is a website I created for personal use and it has some recent pics of the big turkey i killed and it also has a video clip of the two birds I saw that morning. The other bird that was with the one I shot was bigger, so if my bird scored over 76, then this one would have been a definite slammer.

Well,I went to KY for their opener and I got another big one! I was hunting near louisa, ky and there were turkeys gobbling all over. Unfortuneatly I didn't any of it on footage due to the fact that I was by myself. Tomorrow I'm going back to call for a buddy, so I'll try to get that on footage. Now I'll give you the stats on this Kentucky longbeard.

Kentucky Gobbler (Typical category)
Weight - 25 pounds
Beard - 11.25 inches
Spurs - 1.625 (left), 1.3125

BAGGED MY FIRST MERRIAM!!! THE HUNT OF A LIFETIME!!!

Well i just got back from south dakota last night!! Thank the lord we got our birds before the storm hit. Deadwood, SD got 46 inches or almost 4 feet!!! We drove thru the storm on tuesday sigthseeing, all i can say is, that is the worse snow storm i've ever seen. we couldnt see the front of the truck.

Back to the turkeys. Well we got in on easter sunday around lunch and hunted till dark without hearing a gobble, very depressing.
The next day we changed locations and heard countless gobblers at daybreak. Set up on a couple at flydown and the went the other way. For the next eight hours we (3 of us) played cat and mouse with three toms and there ten hens. From one mountain to the next, I get exhausted just thinking about it. Finally at around 200pm we managed to separate the hens from the toms. And boy when we did, the toms came running!! The 3 of us had to jump behind a lone pine tree, 12 inches in diameter, with no ground cover in sight. The toms didnt care, they almost ran us over. At 15 yards2 of us shot simultaneously. Two birds went down!! The 3rd guy jumped up from behind us and dropped the 3rd tom right out of the air. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
We were in total shock. None of us have ever heard of anyone pulling a triple on 3 mature toms, ever!! We were able to pull it off on our first full day of hunting in the black hills. None of us have ever been there before, but i gaurantee we will be back. The black hills is in my book one of themost beautiful places to hunt, what an expereience.But i recommend to anyone that goes to do lots of research on the net and byphone with the SD game and fish.

Bird stats:My bird: 17.2 lbs, 8.5 beard, 1/2 inch spurs

Friend 1's bird: 14.5 lbs, 9beard, 3/4 spurs

Friend 2's bird: 14.2 lbs, 9 beard, 7/8 spurs

I am still working on the pics. Good luck to everyoneelse. My last season,missouri, opens up monday.
