For Team Eleven, from Monday, April 21st, score my Minnesota Eastern tom at 60.125 points:

22.5 lbs.
1" & 15/16ths" spurs
9 1/8" beard

And I GOT SKUNKED in Missouri Tuesday through Thursady!!! I HATE FENCES!!. I had two hung-up by hog panel fence toms in two days, and, cowardly me, didn' t have the nerve to relocate.
Of course, if I had known there were fences, I' d have moved. Did I hear someone say something about knowing your area??? And it rained the third day, but I learned something.

Back to South Dakota tomorrow to see if my wife can fill her second tag. Wish me/her luck.

btomlin--Way to go!! Nice bird. You bowhunters are awesome!!!

I had worked this bird several times during the season and kept getting intruded upon by other hunters, so I decided to catch him going back to roost. I shot him 40 yards from the roost tree at 7:15 yesterday afternoon.

The gun was a Browning A5 with 30" full choke barrel, shells were 2 3/4" Winchester Supreme #4' s. I shot him at 40 yards and he hardly flopped.

Day 7.........tagged out!!

What a morning! Birds were hammering past 8:10am this morning. We roosted these birds last night with the help of a thunder storm that rolled in. Nice little spot in Virgil NY. I bet we heard better than 2 dozen birds gobbling this morning. Long story short, I had two gobblers come in right from the roost and gobble in my face less than 10 yards. I bagged the bigger of the two. Decent 8" beard, but very light tom (15lbs)

I hunted with spur_oneforme & gobble master. I came back to the truck to find another car parked next to my truck on private land. (this property borders state land). An elder hunter came out from the direction I came from, and I think he was trying to move in when I shot the bird. Come to find out, the other hunter he was with, went to where spur_oneforme was set up, and put a decoy out just 25 yards in front of him, despite spur_oneforme announcing that he was set up there (with decoys out). Total slob jerk. This happened all the while the bird were hammering on the roost. spur_oneforme & gobble master did manage to work some birds, but ran out of time before work.

Great hunt, but lousy run in with slob hunters

15lbs 2oz, 8" Beard, 11/16" spurs

Total Score=44.8750
