Too bad JHB, sounds like a fun hunt anyway. Sometimes the turkeys have to win. You'll get them next time.

Sounds exciting,, I cant wait, tomorrow is the day!! Me and MO Bowhunter get to get after em in the morning. Good luck MO lets get some real limb hangers. Oh and by the way, how does the scoring work on turkeys? Thanks Good luck everyone.

I just got back from my hunting trip and bagged 2 longbeards.One of them was the biggest Merriams I have killed too date.I went back and read all the posts .Congrats on all the success and allthe stories.Big bird was 23.5 lbs. 11/4 spurs and 8.75 beard length.Other bird was 20 lbs. 1/2 spurs 8 inch beard.I have weekend hunts planned for Idaho and a 5 day hunt yet to go I can kill 21 birds yet.

congratulations ultimag. Better luck next time jbh076. Thanks for the stories adn good luck.

Well I can't make it out tomorrow but tuesday I will be.

Scoring works as follows.
Weight + (Beard*2) + (Left Spur *10) + (Right spur*10)

When you get one just give me the measurements and I'll update the spreadsheet I have.

Good luck tomorrow, look forward to pics.

ulti your score is 66


i messed up my arm again bad may have possibly broken it and did nerve damage this time. i will find out monday

Hey all, I just got back from working on the road, but I got the chance to visit the farm I'll be hunting yesterday.

I've still got 2 weeks till season opens so I went for a walk/scout. You wouldn't believe the deer sign! And alot of it right beneath my stands, I'm pretty pumped about the fall, but was a little dissapointed with the turkey sign, they are usually all over the 100acres by now, I was worried that the late winter took its toll on them. But, I found a few tracks and heard a few hens on the neighbours property, as long as they are there I will score for Thunderstrut!

A local outdoors store was celebrating its 19th anniversary so I went out and bought a blind big enough to shoot my bow from (couldn't shoot a compound from my outhouse blind), its a Wigwam by HuntersView, it should be big enough to shoot the bow, or have a friend come out to film a shotgun hunt. These are my goals this year, either a tom with my bow, or a harvest on tape, but even if I don't succeed in either don't worry, I should be able to post a score for the team.

Good luck all

Congrats ultimag, sounds like a couple of real nice birds. Good luck guys, we're holding our own here!

Hoping my hand will feel better and can get out this weekend.

Congrats ultimag!
