RE: Team 4 "Thunder Chickens"
I talk to the guy we are hunting with last night and it looks promising for the season. He has been seeing alot of birds,hopefully this cold snap slows the foliage a little so that we can see them. Good luck to those who are currently out!

RE: Team 4 "Thunder Chickens"
I never did post my scores on my birds...I guess I need to give it to our team captain (YooperMike) ?? If so, YooperMike, bird #1 scored 63.25 and bird #2 scored 63. These scores were calculated using the NWTF calculator which was stated in the rules of the competition.

RE: Team 4 "Thunder Chickens"
I am in St. Louis currently and the house we are at has birds coming in to the back yard. I called to them this morning and got a ton of responses, despite the howling winds. I had two jakes come in, but the spotted me right way since I was without a face mask. Still a ton of fun though. I also got some more calls today at BPS and a 3-pack of decoys. They are foam flex one, pretty nice for $19.99 Tomorrow morning I'm going to deploy the full arsenal, decoys, new calls, full camo. I really want to see the gobblers that were answering me today. One reallly had a nice loud wobbly gobble, should be a real dandy. Good luck to you guys that are out currently. Apr. 20 is fast approaching for me!

RE: Team 4 "Thunder Chickens"
I went to put out my trail cam today and what a good time. I get deep into the woods and about to the lake, I hunt right on the edge of Lake Michigan, all of a sudden I here an crash and turn around to see about 20 white flags all in the air. I had my camera with so I tryed stopping the deer, "baaaa! baaaaa!", when I hear more stuff behind me, hear theres 4 BIG toms running around, 9" plus beards. I hunker down and watch the show. They start chasing each other around and kept putting until I see them fade into the sun. So I go and put the camera up, turn around and theres another tom standing there! He saw me move a ran off. God I love being in the woods, and I still got till May 16! Ahhhhhh, this is driving me crazy to see these things all fired up, I thinkI can't go back to woods till May or Imight go insane.
