Let's hear from team 1 members, where are you going to be hunting this year? How do you feel about your chances of success? Have you been chasing "Old Tom" for a few years or are you new at the game? What part of the country do you hunt and which of the 4 major turkey do you pursue?

To answer my own questions, I will be hunting Minnesota, Michigan, and Texas this year. I feel very good about my chances of success, and I have been hunting "Old Tom" for about 10 years. Success rate 8-10 birds over the ten years. Some years more than one bird, some years none. I hunt and have taken several Easterns and Merrians. This year will be going to Texas and hope to take a nice Rio.

What's up bluegunner, I'm ready to roll down here in Alabama. I posted a check in post for team 1 before I saw your post so we'll make this one the main one.
I'm 22 andI've been chasin' toms around for about 5 years now. I don't know if you saw my pictures but I'm the bored redneck that made the homemade basketball struttin decoy, that's how addicted I am to killin turkeys. My season opens this Thursday and I will be there waiting for 'em to sound off from a ridge top. If I don't hear any, I know where to go to wait on 'em. Season goes from March 15-April 30 and I'll be able to hunt about 80% of the days. I'm finishing up my decoy and I'll post some pictures on here this evening, maybe he'll bring in an old hard headed field tom. When does your season open bluegunner? We need to think of a team name for us too. Good luck and let's go get 'em.

RIStrutStopper checkin in! Looks like we have some dedicated turkey chasers on our team! SouthernStrut, I saw that basketball decoy post of yours, I bet that thing's gonna work. Doesn't look too portable, but I'm sure Ol' Tom doesn't care as long as you get it to where its gonna count! I think I've got a pretty good chance to score on an eastern this year, I'll be hunting in RI and CT. The RI season doesn't open until the end of April and CT something like May 5th, so by the time I hit the woods I'm sure our team will have a bunch of birds checked in. If I score early with my shotgun, I may just tote my blind along and give it a shot with my bow this year. I've only got a few years chasing turkeys under my belt, but I'm addicted! I've got a few nice longbeards to help my team the past couple of years so lets hope I can keep it going! Good Luck Everyone!

Hey guys, pabirdhunter here. I'll be hunting VA which starts on 4/14 and PA which comes in on 4/28. I've been hunting turkeys for ten years or so now I guess with a pretty good success rate. This is the first year for VA so we'll see how that works out but I feel confident about PA. I'm a die hard so I'll do what I can for the team.

The Bullshooter is checking in. Glad to be here and I am looking forward to another great season. I killed my first turkey in 1976 and have killed a few since then (126) but who is counting. LOL. I will only be hunting Mo. Pa. and Ny this year.

Gobblegetter here and ready for action, i'll be goin to tennesee for a week at the start of their season then i'll be hunting new york all during may, feelin pretty good about this year, think ive got it about figured out......knock on wood....

Hopefully this bad boy can bring one in this year!

Checking in! I'll be hunting GA, WY, SD, MO, and IL this year. I did have an Oklahoma trip scheduled but had to cancel it. I've been turkey hunting since 1995 and have around 30 turkeys to my name.

Checking in as well. I will be hunting Otsego County, NY, and Bradford County, PA this year. I have been hunting turkeys for 15 years or so at this point and have killed quite a few and called in even more for other people. I will primarily be hunting with the bow out of a blind with my buddy APAJaws but will also be carrying the 870 Super Mag for a few hunts too this year. I have never killed a bird with a bow and hope this year is my first. Last year was the first year I have gone without a bird for quite a while, but hopefully luck will change for this season.

Here are a few pics, firstwas taken a few weeks ago on my 100 acres in PA, second is the bird I called in for my father last year, and the last is my bird from year before last.

There are a few gobblers here........lol.

Hey Team 1...Zubba checking in.

This is my nineth year chasing turkeys. I have taken 8 birds in 8 years and called in moreforothers.(2 some year and none a couple). I don't want to jinx myself, but I have taken 4 nice toms the past 4 years (most of my skunks came early in my turkey hunting career).
