RE: Team 4 "Thunder Chickens"
I saw the biggest bird ive ever seen "in real life" this morning. Ive only turkey hunted 3 years so dont think its some record turkey but I was working him for 45 min and he gobbled like crazy but didnt move. I decided to get agressive so I went into the brush and saw a revine. I knew he was on the other side so a crawled up it on my belly and when I got to the top it went down and was flat for about 10 yards then had a huge drop off. I called again and he came running. I couldnt get him to fly over it and he wasnt in the best shooting range but I found out where he is roosting and will be there this weekend. Very exciting hunt, non stop gobbling! From what I could see he was around 20 lbs and beard was touching the ground. I hope I can get him!

Sounds like you all are having way to much fun. The season starts the 28th here and all of this action is getting me pumped for the season. All thought the weather is crappy right now 40 degrees and a rain/snow mix. I hope it gets better opening day.
Congrats on the birds that are down!

that's so cool titleist 03! I have never had anyone film my hunts...I think that it would be so cool though to have the kill recorded! Let us know if you do get featured on tv and I will be sure to watch!
