[blittle913]

Hey hey im here! Just got some new sights, a rest, and a stabilizer strapped on the brand new Darton and my arrows are ordered! Im ready to go. I decided to completely upgrade everything this year and got all brand new stuff! Now i just need to pass an arrow through a nice longbeard!

[HunterHawk]

NICEEEEEEE.... i didnt know you shot a Darton.... thats what i shoot... i was thinking about getting a new one butttttttt i just dont see why i should get a new boat when mine shoots so good:)... if i do get a new one its just going to be another Darton...

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Hey guys Im here...

I also shoot a Darton.:yikes:......

Ok I dont but it sounded good for a minute.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[outdoor junkie]

Hey boys, I'm here. I used to shoot Dartons exclusively, great bows. But two years ago I bought a Parker and love it. Anywho it's almost time, these next couple weeks can't go fast enough. Wish all you guys the best out there this season. Are we an all bowhunting team?

[casscityalum]

Got the ol Mathews tuned in and just gotta go get some spitfires. Looking forward to it. Got my license last night and now Im almost ready to go. Gotta get home to get all my turkey stuff sometime soon. later

[casscityalum]

oh by the way talk on another thread is we have to lose hawk as a member since he doesnt qualify for the lowest score in "s....To bad it would have been a nice run hawk.....

was this English? im confused?

i aint going no where boy!

talking about this season coming fast... i am going to try not to be on here much until around April 24th or so.... i know thats probably unlikely because i think i have a problem.... i think im addicted to the site... im thinking about contacting Steve to see if he knows any good counseling :help:

but we will see how it goes... only 4 papers and 5 finals to go.. (possibly 4 finals... depends on what my grade is in the class).... but i will at least give you that tally when i finish a paper or final.... i cant wait to be done!!!!


steve1983 gave me the idea... here is my bird from last year
http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/520/medium/Turkeystanding_up.jpg

scored 16 4/16... had a 12 and 15/16in beard left spur was 1 9/16 and the right spur was 1 12/16.....
bird was a hoss.... only weighed 20 lbs... he was an old geezer for sure... there was one with him that had a bigger beard but i am not sure how big its spurs were... i was more than happy with this one and will try to do it again next year... but will be happy with any mature Tom :)

[outdoor junkie]

Nice bird. I've always been told the bigger more mature birds always weigh less, because they're doing all the struttin, fightin, and breeding. Which is why the heavier birds are usually younger. Hope you do just as well this season.

[Smoknngunn]

Smoknn

[HunterHawk]

[HunterHawk]

[dsconnell]

Anyways, Congrats on the 2000 posts but trust me you would rather be here in Madison, WI.. Right across from our booth.. :yikes: Hotty!! Heck they are all over out here.. Chicks wearing camo coming up to us an telling all kinds of hunting stories.. Makes them even hotter when they start talking about the 140" buck they shot last year!! Hey too you think Tiffany is the only hottie on TV.. Let me tell you what Lone Wolf has a girl in their booth Holy $#!?... One of gods great creations and the doctor did pretty good too!:D

Then Ralph and Vicki Ciacarulo are here and they have a whole slew of people and let me tell you they have some hotties with them too!!

I will take some pics for you to drool over if I can!

[HunterHawk]

[blittle913]

Coming this june there will be another hottie on TV killin things. My Girfriend!! Shell be hosting team shocks cut the bull television on the sportsmans channel. Shes pretty excited and maybe the huge tom im about to shoot this year will be on national tv in 2009!

[casscityalum]

Hey Blitter, what do you think of that ol dumb kid Ryan Ederer???? You guy's gotta a pretty cool thing going on and seems like a good handle with people. Keep up the good work..

HAWK MAN CEDER FEST WAS COOL!!! BTW I was gone before the gas and stuff went down....

[HunterHawk]

Yeah my boss did site checks the other day and he said he would kill me if i went down to cedar fest so i decided against it... he said he talked to the cops and stuff and told him they werent going to be messing around if the crowd started giving them trouble.

ps. the gas does burn and make you cough... never experienced it myself because i am pretty quick but my buddies g/f got it a few years back when there was the riots.

[blittle913]

We are actually new to the whole team shock thing and iv only got to meet him once but he seems like a pretty good guy. Iv only met a handful of the guys so far. Small world though, how do you know him?

[casscityalum]

Oh i went to school with him for two years up at lake state. Lived in the dorm room across the hall. Always bullchited for hours about hunting and our trips leaving the UP to get to the deer back home. Good kid.

Hawk y you more active over on those losers thread? Why dont you stick around here!

[HunterHawk]

because i think smokknn locked up jeremy or something.... he has been MIA.... and so has pretty much everyone... but i just wanted to say :help::bash::nono::banghead3

and bye.... because my last few weeks of school are going to kill me so i probably wont be on much between now and the 24th..... so just warning you fellers.... ill be checking in once and a while but i am going to try not to be here as much for real.... the work starts in the am unfortunately....wish me luck

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

-Psebuckmaster17-


looks good, ill have to upload it when I get back to my computer

[blittle913]

Looks good if your left handed, or if you shoot your bow upside down...

[HunterHawk]

haha or if you have more than one pin.... haha... other than that it is almost as cool as the wild turkey logo:lol: ... keep working...

i decided i am just going to get on here when i take breaks... i cant stay away from here what was i thinking

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

looks good, ill have to upload it when I get back to my computer

Thanks for the support. ;)

Well I have to give them some chance. It wouldnt be fair to shoot them the easy way.:coolgleam

http://www.indianasportsman.com/photopost/data/500/Hunterhawklogo.JPG

Is this one better? Or does it not meet your expectations?

Or is this one better?

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

I think the shot placement is a little far back... see that crease in the brown part.. i would aim in the black part... just above that crease in the brown part and i think you got it :)

ps the chicken thing was great.... you are on a roll lately... keep it up... back to school i go

oh and if you could shrink it so its not HUGE.... and make his beard a bit longer.... that only has about a 6 in beard....

also did you trace your hand on the computer screen when you were making that turkey chicken? and i know you got an A in art because that thing is awesome!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Ok its official you are OFF OUR TEAM.....:rant:

I have had enough...

-Psebuckmaster17-








































:lol: Just kidding Craig..

I think that I can deal with a little more.

I think the first one that I have in my signature line is fine.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

well at least you made us look like we have more postings now... very strategic of you..... use big gaps...:lol:
















should put us on page 3 now i think haha..

[00Buckshot69]

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

:rolleyes: If that is what you call it.


:evilsmile Just kidding I really do like it.

Hawk,

It dont matter how long the post is, it goes to 15 post on all the pages.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

and i thought i knew everything.... thanks for the info... how long did it take YOU to figure that out..... almost 1 paper down... at 4 o clock pm i will be one paper down....3 to go

[outdoor junkie]

Just got done shooting my bow at my buddies mckenzie turkey target. Shot 15 shots. 13 of the 15 hit our 3" circle on the target. Looks like the birds are in trouble for sure. C'mon 21st.:)

[HunterHawk]

I think i am going to have to bring my bow to my house in east lansing again this year and shoot in my basement.... i do it for deer season every year... i didnt really like how my bow was shooting last season so i have to make sure everything is good to go before i pull up on a turkey... last year because of my shoulder surgery i had to use my cousins bow which i turned the poundage way down on and i pretty much made my own blooper tape on one bird :(... it was pretty pathetic.... but i was glad i missed him because then i got the monster so everything happens for a reason.... but since i dont have much time to hunt this season i have to make sure to smoke the first monster i can get to come in....so good call

its time to pull out the darton death trap... point the arrow in the direction and this is the last face that turkey is going to make :yikes: THUD

Actually one day I happened to notice that every page started on the 15th post. So I checked and seen if they were all like that and sure enough they were.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

i have 1 paper done.... 3 more to go.... 1 -12pg 1-10, and 1-4.... but i figured everytime i turn one in i get a little more time on here.... kinda like being rewarded:lol:

lol thats the only "reward" you get.....burn.... haha..just got in from the ol Whiskey Barrel! Talk to you guys later..oh and craig we gotta talk I might be hunting an old friends of ures around mason!

[HunterHawk]

i think i probably know what ol friend you are talking about.... he lets everyone go....and i cant think of a good section of woods that he owns... you would be better off getting me trapping privileges and duck and goose hunting...i could be wrong of course

[casscityalum]

So no good property at all? Im talking about Matt O..he said it should be fine for me and they have spots I can go. I think its worth at least looking at..So hows school going?

Im going to be in DA UP for 4 days so I will check in when I can. take care guys

[HunterHawk]

yeah i figured thats who you were talking about... like i said get me trapping permission... i am not sure of EVERYTHING they own... but i cant think of any good hunting right of the top of my head... like i said... ducks and geese are a whole nother story..

[HunterHawk]

went home and got my bow lastnight.... cant wait to shoot the target down in the basement at my house... ill have her shootin fleas of your dogs back at 50 yards in no time..... :lol:

[HunterHawk]

wheres smokknngun at? I have a question for him..... what do you feed that boy? midgets? :lol:

i need a personal trainer... what you doing this summer Jeremey haha

[steve1983]

[Ferris_StateHunter]

Craig,

There you go again talkin the smack.... I have to figure out how to send you a large file. I have a hunting video that was made with a friend of mine, with some of his and mine hunts on tape, to thunderstruck! Its actually sweet

[Smoknngunn]

then maybe you can turn your bow up to 35 pound's!!!:lol::lol:


Now that was cold. :tdo12:
I bet Hawk can handle at least 40lbs without quivering.


Hawk,
That boy pretty much eats whatever isn't tied down, as you can see, he isn't malnourished. He's been on a diet-he's reduced his intake to 4500 cal/day. You should see him, the poor kid's almost whithering away to nothing. :rolleyes:

:lol:

-Smoknn

[HunterHawk]

haha nice to see you are still around smoknngunn.... glad to see you tied yourself down in other words:lol:

that and i was scared big bubba might have gotten you at work

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Yeah he is safe, I only like lean meat.:evilsmile

Soon he will have me to watch his back so he can rest a little more.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

i think i would let you have my back.... i just hope you can fight better you can trap and shoot:lol:

[Smoknngunn]

Yeah he is safe, I only like lean meat.:evilsmile

-Psebuckmaster17-


Lean meat, eh? (touche'). Funny thing is, since I foot the bill for groceries around here, guess who just REALLY went on a diet? Enjoy your rice cakes and ramen noodles.

Dad

For the record, that was funny...:lol:

[outdoor junkie]

Had four toms on full strut this morning trying to get the attention of a group of hens in my field. I believe one of them was tomzilla, I'm gonna bag him this year, he looks to have about a 14" beard. C'mon next Monday. Hope you boys are all ready for opener.

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

i think i would let you have my back.... i just hope you can fight better you can trap and shoot:lol:

Well just so you know they dont call me Robin Hood for nothing.:coolgleam

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

something tells me they dont really call you robin hood... but i have been called Craig Bear before on several occasions... my dad called me today to tell me him and my uncle were at my grandmas watching turkeys... 3 for sure shooters and 4 maybe...... to be shooters their beard have to be pretty big so im stoked!... and im waiting to hear back from another land owner to see if i can get permission where there is TONS of birds....

Oh and i shot my bow today for the 1st time... i think steve was right... i think im going to take it back down to 35#'s that 65#'s was getting to me after a few volleys.... for the very 1st shot i put up a beee pop bottle top :) and smoked it on the very first shot and dont worry it wasnt down hill from there.. i was shooting sweet... Im ready... just need to buy some more broad heads and im good to go

[CMUBASEBALL]

we have 6 big toms located and all scouted out. hope you bring ur A game!!

[HunterHawk]

I have 6 words for you boy.... there is no crying in baseball..... which leads me to my next point... There is no crying when you lose this contest either...... man i had to stretch on that one but i think i hit a home run :lol:

[casscityalum]

how leave it to hawk for the smack talk..hmmm...well got my seasons all straight now so its just time to shoot the ol bow..see u sometime this week hopefully(craig)

[HunterHawk]

cass we are really going to work on your grammar... its taking away from your point... i cant spell worth a dang either... but look how that started out:lol:... i forgive you

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well CMU you have to fill your team before you can win the contest.:D

Craig,

I heard that you had to turn your bow down to 35lbs, I was talking about it to my dad, and my sister said that she felt bad for you. She offered her bow to you, if you would like to use it. :evilsmile

Good luck with that sholder, I had the same problem two falls/springs ago. I was lucky enough I didnt have to turn my bow down though, I just couldn't shoot very long. Still have a little trouble with it when I shoot for a long time.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[casscityalum]

how leave it to hawk for the smack talk..hmmm...well got my seasons all straight now so its just time to shoot the ol bow..see u sometime this week hopefully(craig)

"Wow! Leave it to Hawk for the smack talk...Ok, well I got my seasons all straight now so its just time to shoot the ol' bow..See you somethime this week I hope(Craig).."

Sorry about that I'll try and watch my grammar. I can't believe how bad I started that out...Ok time for class

[HunterHawk]

Chit... Dan(casscity) is coming over to shoot his bow right now :hide:

[dsconnell]

You better find something more protective than a chair to hide under!:lol:

Just ordered a new rest and a new sight.. I may just use my bow this year..

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Good luck guys.

Dad and I have been shooting every day and are ready to go. Now all we need to do is find a few birds.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

haha good call dan... scary thing is my 1st two shots hit the cement wall in my basement (completely missing the target)... in the process i glazed my fist off my face, hurt my wrist and messed up the shoulder i had surgery on... called my uncle and told him something was messed up and described to him what had happend and he informed me to adjust the screw on my release.... and it fixed the problem... I WOULD HAVE BEEN SOOOOO PISSED if a big ol tom walked out and that happend :( ...plus afterwards i was a bit trigger shy... takes a bit to get your confidence back... and man o man my shoulder is killing me... i shot pretty well though.. and i hate to admit it but casscity shot pretty well also.. sucker shot my arrow a couple times.... the two arrows that hit the cement wall arent in too good of shape as you can imagine...i was at full draw both times it happend :(

oh well... that is why you practice i guess... back to writing the papers i go

just found out my uncle bought a new camera too.. so thats pretty sweet... he didnt buy the one i was hoping he would buy but i guess he got a decent one...so we will see hopefully we can post some video too

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Hawk,

I know what you mean. The other day my dad and I were shooting, I went to draw my bow back and got about half way back and snap. My arrow goes flying, and I hit myself right in the chin. I thought my string loop snapped, but it didnt. We thought maybe I didnt have it closed right or something, so I go closer to the target (just in case) and tried it. Snapped off again and I hit myself in the chin again and my arrow goes straight up and hits a branch (lucky for me I didnt have to chase another arrow). So I didnt know what was going on. I looked at my release and the head doesnt close all the way when you close it. It was slipping through just enough to make my arrow go flying and make me hit myself in the face a few times.:dizzy:

-Psebuckmaster17-

[steve1983]

wow!!! sound's like we have nothing to worry about with the bad luck you guy's are having!!!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Steve,

Just dont get caught with your pants down.

It was just a little problem that was taken care of.

Now I am ready to pass one thru and long beard.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

hahaha... steve is pretty funny... im picturing if things would have went different and we both posted after opening morning... hey how did you do.... ohhhh ya know went to shoot a big long beard and punched myself in the face you?...... oh ya know... the same :lol:

but yes.. i am glad that we got these situations all figured out... my shoulder and jaw are a little sore... i wouldnt mess with me though... i hit pretty hard:lol:

good times...

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Yeah I can take a hit pretty well.:lol:

I didnt even flinch.:coolgleam

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

ill tell ya what... my brother is a chiropractor and i just had to go see him... it messed my neck/back up worse than i thought... think i pulled a muscle or two :dizzy:.... im on page 6 of 12:woohoo1:... its due tomorrow so i better get to it.. talk to yall when its done or maybe before... depends if i need a break...

[HunterHawk]

well fellers... 2 papers to go... 1 10 pager and 1 4 pager.... and 4 or 5 finals..... i can feel it.... the taste of freedom!!!!

did a little scouting/ woodchuck hunting and came up empty handed pretty much on both accounts.... i didnt really scout too hard though because i was out in the fields most of the time looking for chucks.... i saw a few turkeys here and there.... ill do my scouting when the time comes....

i did see a smokey grey... but it wasnt on my land.... however it is on one of our buddies pieces of property and i couldnt tell if it was a hen or a tom... i think hen because i saw 3 big toms struttin... but who knows.... either way it will be cool to get her on video during the hunt if nothing else...

[Sabre03]

Hey Guys,
Good luck,... I'm not in the contest, But I'll be pulling for ya. I Wish I was a turkey hunter, but I'm not... Only the BIG Bucks in my neck of the woods Need to be scared come Bow season. Less than 6 months to go Hawk, do you have our Hunting Trip planed yet :confused:
See Ya........ good luck,, go get em guys.

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well guys we went out and knocked of a few doors the other day. We got two new places to hunt. One of the places is where I saw 4 long beards last week. Hope they decide to show up and meet pretty boy Monday morning.

http://a748.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/31/l_8a40445a9c1a1c42bbd0e6211f4d667b.jpg

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

those deks might be expensive but you will be glad you have it.... i promise..... but im serious.... first couple times those toms dont come in.... start cutting some feathers.... thats awesome you guys got a couple places to trap.... must be you quit beaver trapping or you let the old man hit the shower for his once a month before you went....

sabre nice hearing from ya buddy.... wonder where the heck you have been... and nope not planned yet.... let me barrow some money and i plan a dandy of a trip :lol:

[HunterHawk]

good luck to all who has the first hunt... my uncle watched 4 good toms today within 15 yards of him... he videoed all of them... i have people doing my scouting:lol:

[outdoor junkie]

Good luck tomorrow boys. Can't wait to head out in the woods in the morning.

[HunterHawk]

wooo hooo this means we have at least 3 guys heading out in the morning? nothing like getting a good lead... good luck boys!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Hey guys leaving in about 1 min.

Good luck today.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

how did it go? my uncle and cousin doubled this morning and got them both with there bows on film!!!! not huge ones i guess... my uncles was a tom with a full fan and big spurs but the beard was either froze or burnt off.... too bad.... but still cool!!

how did you guys do????

[outdoor junkie]

Birds were very tight lipped in my neck of the woods. Never heard a gobble in 7.5 hours. Wouldn't respond to anything. Hopefully they're a little more fired up tonight. Good luck men.

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

06:00- Got to our hunting grounds just as we walked in off the road we had a tom gobble about 40-60 yards in front of us. We rushed over and set up as quick as we could, about 50 yards away from the tom. After we got set up we listened to this tom gobble for about 10-15 minutes and heard two other toms to the east of us about 700 yards start cutting loose. Then the gobblers started going nuts. There was gobbleing in all directions. At least 6 different gobblers, within 1000 yards. Sat for about 15-20 minutes before calling. Started out with soft tree yelping and then about 06:25 did the fly down call.

06:30- The tom that was about 50 yards comes down and goes the other direction. We hear him gobble about 100 yards away. Off to the west, to the pond for a drink of water. We listen and call for about 5 minutes. We hear a hen clucking about 50-75 yards away. It sounds like she is coming our way.

06:45- Thing start to get silent within 200 yards of where we are sitting. We do a few soft clucks and purs. About 1 minute after we hear what sounds like a hen cutting. I look over my sholder out the window and see a tom standing there. He stops and as he clears the corner of the pines where he can see pretty boy and girl. Hangs up for 2 seconds and halls @ss....

The other way....

07:45- All is silent for and hour so we decide to move our location to see if we can get them eating in the farm pasture. We start to head out and just get off our property to the farmers property and hear gobbleing about 100 yards away. We set up and start calling. The birds dont respond, so we wait for a couple minutes.

08:00- We hear the two toms about 450 yards to the south west of where we were sitting. We decide to wait for about 1/2 hour and see what happens. We hear and see nothing so we decide to move again.

8:35- We get to the field we were heading to and set up. Dont hear or see anything for about and hour and a half. We decide to pack it up and head home until this afternoon.

[HunterHawk]

good luck.... make it a jake and they will come....(heard it in a movie once) ok so it wasnt make it a jake... but you get the picture:lol:

[dsconnell]

Now I feel bad cause the lead you were supposed to be out to is not actually happening yet so I would like to offer up calling for one of you so we can make this an even match.. :evil:

[TheWidowmaker]

06:00- Got to our hunting grounds just as we walked in off the road we had a tom gobble about 40-60 yards in front of us. We rushed over and set up as quick as we could, about 50 yards away from the tom. After we got set up we listened to this tom gobble for about 10-15 minutes and heard two other toms to the east of us about 700 yards start cutting loose. Then the gobblers started going nuts. There was gobbleing in all directions. At least 6 different gobblers, within 1000 yards. Sat for about 15-20 minutes before calling. Started out with soft tree yelping and then about 06:25 did the fly down call.


50 yards is a bit close. Your dad knows better than that! Be glad you didn't knock him and every other bird out of the roost.

[bigmike]

Team Lazy D is on the board with a BIG TOM;) How many birds you guys got down Mr. Turkey slayers?????:confused::lol::lol:. We will call for you guys and show you some tips because Team Lazy D will be eating turkey tonight!

[casscityalum]

Two of us don't start till May 5, so Id keep talking that trash if I was you!

[HunterHawk]

yeah... keep it coming.. We can take it:)....

come on boys its dark.... go get em now... ill get the spotlight:lol:

aka its dark get back here and fill me in... im gonna work on this paper and take a break and look for a report!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

50 yards is a bit close. Your dad knows better than that! Be glad you didn't knock him and every other bird out of the roost.


Well we didnt have any other option other than sit in the middle of the road, or go home. So we got as close to the wood line as we could without bumping him. Besides you can get under the tree they are roosting in if you are as stealth are we are. :coolgleam

BigMike,

Who are you kidding I heard you call the other night. Besides anyone can kill a turkey with a gun, I gave that up when I was 15. Just kidding buddy congrats on calling in those birds this morning. Hopefully you can get Hillbilly JD on a bird now and then you can head after your bird.

Congrats Widowmaker on your first longbeard.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

haha pse do you have a report or am i going to write this paper haha

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well we had the luck of a dead duck...

We didnt see anything except for 3 rabbits and a cat....:dizzy:

Didnt even hear a turkey, but just came in from outside and heard a turkey gobbleing down where we set up this morning. Hopefully we can get in and set up down where he headed this morning.

Wish us luck.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

haha dang cats.... they are bad luck when you are hunting man... should have just packed up and left....

sorry to hear you couldnt get anything in... good luck in the am!!

ok im out for the night

good luck and put the hammer down on em

[Smoknngunn]

50 yards is a bit close. Your dad knows better than that! Be glad you didn't knock him and every other bird out of the roost.


Polecat,
When you move in stealth mode like the YDB's you can pull off moving into his back yard and not bump him off the roost.

Good job and Congrats on the long beard!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

05:45- Got in a set up in the same area as yesterday. One tom started gobbling about 50-60 yards away.

06:00- The tom starts gobbling, and we hear 2-3 more gobbles. We are not sure how many birds are there. At first it sounds like maybe two that are gobbling at each other. Then the hens start to cluck. We start to call softly back to the hens.

06:25- Two hens fly down about 60 yards in front of us. Start clucking and looking at the decoys. We start clucking back, and they just start walking around in the field. Then we hear the gobblers are down. One big boy about 9-10 inches comes walking up the outside edge of the field. We try and pull the hens closer but they are not interested. Then we see three more jakes come up about 10 yards behind the tom. They are all strutting and the hens start to work toward us. They dont come within bow or gun range. They stay out in the field and give us a show for about 10 minutes but we just couldnt pull them to us.

06:50- The birds stop gobbling and we hear nothing from the hens. We know that they are not in the area anymore and we decided to move to where we saw them yesterday and set up there. We got there and the birds (Sames as the ones earlier in the morning) were about 100 yards away from where we were planning on setting up. So we get in the ditch that runs the outside edge of the farmers field and try to get into position to where the birds were heading.

07:15- We try and run the ditch line and get into position. The birds are moving across the field fast and it is hard to cut them off. We see another flock of birds, with another big tom and a smokey grey hen. The smokey grey hen starts chasing the other two hens around the field and the gobblers face off. The tom that was in the field runs the other tom and three jakes off about 30 yards and the three hens and tom go over the crest of the hill. (This all takes place about 200 yards away)

07:50- We watch the tom and jakes strut around the field and try to get their attention. They just dont seem interested. We just sit and wait calling periodicly.

08:30- We hear a hen answer one of our clucks. We know they are still just around the bend about 100 yards, but I guess no decoy, not even pretty boy and girl are enough to pull them away from the real thing. They just stay in the field and dont come our way.

08:50- We hear the birds gobble and then we hear BOOM...... BOOM................... Cluck...Cluck.... BOOMMM.....

Well we were not the only ones in the field hunting these birds. We walk across the field and see who it was. The farmer said he had a guy that hunted the field a couple times but he didnt come back this year so he said we could hunt there. Well I guess he might be the guy that was able to hunt there but we didnt check him, not knowing who he was.

Anyway it was a older guy with his sons girlfriend and she was happy as can be. We asked did you shoot that longbeard the older man says "No." With a smile she says with a bigger smile " I sure did." Well it wasnt either of the longs beards, just one of the jakes, but it didnt matter a bit to her.

I guess it wasnt a bad day, I got to see two things I have never seen before a smokey grey turkey and two toms fighting. It was pretty cool. Too bad we didnt get a shot at a bird though. I guess that is the challenge of bowhunting.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

so what you are tyring to tell me is you and your dad got out foxed by a girl and an old man :lol:....well im guessing it would have been the same either way... i guess you are hunting with your old man hahaha (as i run and hide for good)

j/k guys... so when is the next time you guys can get out? and have the flown down in the same place going the same way in the last two days? maybe set up over there if they have..... maybe with just the hen decoy this time? maybe a hen decoy standing up or feeding.... have you changed it to a jake yet :).... just the only things i could think of....we are a team of pros so i am sure you have already thought about that stuff but that is the only thing i could think of.... otherwise they are turkeys... the dumbest smartest critters i know....
good luck... plenty of time left:).. i have to work on these papers as much as i can so i will be mia.. but good luck if you go out tonight or tomorrow morning... ill check in from time to time im sure...

[dsconnell]

Just from what my observations were and what worked both times opening day.

Simulate a hen fight and get loud and aggressive.. try to put out two hens about 40 yards apart and have one of you set up 10 yards the opposite side of the deek and the other on the opposite side of the other deek so that you have 30 yard shot to the middle and still all in all cover about 120 yards considering 30 yards max shot.. Start hammering away at each other and see what happens.. Just my .02.. Take it for what it is work but after a couple days of calling at them in the same area you will have to switch it up a little!

Both of the birds we killed were over a series of hen fights and excited yelps, clucks and cuts.. One was with a real bird and the other was me and John (Big Rack Mack) cutting into each other and simulating a hen fight.. This is what got them fired up and gobbling when nothing else would too!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Craig,

Yes they went the same way as yesterday, that is why we decided to move this morning. We though we might be able to get them off the roost and they out foxed us. The old man and girl were not calling or anything from what we heard. We didnt even know that they were there until they shot. They only had one hen decoy and the birds wouldnt work it either. The toms and jakes only followed the smokey grey around from what they said. They had to belly crawl to the birds and shoot three times and they got lucky..:D

Dan,

We are sitting in a blind so we can draw our bows back. I am probably going to try and see what I can do in the morning. Maybe I will try and see if I can make some sound of a hen fight. Well see, I probably wont hunt the roost. I am probably going to go to the spot where we seen them today.

Wish me luck.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[bigmike]

If you want a bird. Take a member of team Lazy D and we will get you one;). Bob and I called in a bird for J.D. today. 10 1/2 beard ,spurs over 1 inch. THAT IS 2 BOOK BIRDS IN 2 DAYS PIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!:coolgleam:lol: Beat that!:corkysm55

Yeah Hawk, you only have 10 pages to do by tomorrow. That wont be bad, just do alot of BSing and hope you dont start talking about turkey hunting....:lol:

-Psebuckmaster17-

[TheWidowmaker]

Goob, I think you guys are stopping way to early. We saw/called birds in close to 11am, both days. Been working the same 2 track, back and forth, every 30mins or so.

Keep working and moving. No answer, move some more. We've gotten gobblers to respond by just slowly walking, and calling. Hell, on my bird, we had just left the area he and another responded in about 15mins earlier.

They move alot.

[HunterHawk]

:woohoo1::woohoo1::woohoo1:..... no i didnt get a turkey... i just got done with my 10 page paper :coolgleam.... arent you guys excited haha... i am about to start on my 3-5 pager thats due tomorrow plus study for my 2 finals tomorrow and then next week i have 2 finals..... next week i will be scouting and calling for people.... its finally getting closer.....

oh yeah and i am shooting sweet so i cant blame my bow if i miss... im gonna go shoot a couple arrows quick and get back to work....

a 10 pager is almost like a 10 incher... right :lol:

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well guys we are still not on the board...:( It is probably because Craig has been talking so much crap, enough for the whole team.:lol: So now we all have bad luck...:bash:

Hope to get us on the board tonight. If not tonight maybe tomorrow morning. Didnt go out this morning I had to go to an interview so I didnt want to get us that early and then go in looking like a hay-seed (HUNTERHAWK)...:whistle:

How is the rest of the team doing? Outdoorjunkie? BLittle?

Hawk we already know you have to write some papers. :lol:

Cass you hunt hasnt started yet has it?

-Psebuckmaster17-

[casscityalum]

My hunt starts the 5, so then Ill be free of school and just have to hunt around work which wont be to big of a problem. Well good luck guys!

[HunterHawk]

at least i have my priorities right... i have been talking trash and hoping my team will back it up... no one said they couldnt so i kept talking it :lol:, i have been shooting my bow, practicing my calling, dreaming about it, hearing about it, and watching it!!!! what more can i do haha...what the heck does a hay seed look like you rag weed.

and yeah how is everyone else doing?


WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Only 4 more finals left until im FREEEEEEEE......

where is everyone? its been dark for quite some time...and i havent heard a report from anyone... good luck in the morning if any of you guys are going out in the am

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well boys we are on the board...

Here is the rundown.

17:40- We went to the farm field where we saw the turkeys yesterday morning hoping to cut them off coming back to the roost. We sat for about and hour and decide to try and move up the field a little so we could see over the crest of the hill, down to the corner that the birds were feeding in yesterday.

16:50- We get to the top on the crest and see something out in the field which we believe is a turkey, however we forgot the glasses at home so we were not for sure. We decide to get in the ditch and run the mile back there and see what it is. Get back there and see nothing and decide to head back to the top of the crest to see if we can see weather it was a turkey or not. Get about half way back and see that it was a flock of turkeys and they have moved about half way through the field and there is a tom strutting in the back.

19:10- We get back in the ditch and get with in 100 yards of the birds and watch them cross the field. It was the same three hens as yesterday, the smokey grey, and two normal hens. The big boy was right behind them. They cross the hedge row into the corn field, and head right toward us. They are about 60 yards and they are closing in.

19:35- The hens are about 10 yards in front of us and still coming. The tom follows right behind them giving dad a perfect shot. He ran about three steps and flattened out.

It was a great night and an awsome hunt. A long trip through the creek bed, but was worth every step of it.

Here are the pictures.

All in all it was a great day. It was all worth the long walk and was cool to have the birds work right toward us.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[boogemaster]

And a great story. Sounds like an awesome day!

[HunterHawk]

woooo hoooo congrats!!!! thats a dandy.... about time we put some points on this baby!!!!!.... i knew you couldnt send a boy to do a mans job :lol:

j/k jeremy that was nice of you to let the handicapped guy go first:)... you guys to looked whipped haha.. good stuff

[bigmike]

SUPER JOB MIKEY!!;):):p:D Great bird. I'm very happy for you and it's about time you shot one that was not on the bird feeder:lol: What a bird.

[TheWidowmaker]

That's a beast of a bird allright. Good job Mike!

[casscityalum]

Good job!, Leave it to the ol guy to start off for the team. Well starting to feel better now so can't wait to get out! Well later guys!

[HunterHawk]

im feeling better too.... TWO FINALS DOWN.... TWO TO GO... WOOOO HOOO

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well boys I got a new place to hunt today.:D

The guy said he has been watching a couple big toms come in every morning. They come in following a small group of hens. About two weeks ago he said he was watching 8 toms and 3 jakes with about 20 hens. Everyday the flock would get smaller and smaller, now it is down to about 2 toms and 4 hens.

So if things dont work out around the house I have the choice to hunt over there. Might try it this weekend, or early next week.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[casscityalum]

I just got the news i have brouncitus or however you spell it...im back to bed and resting:( damn this weather...

[Smoknngunn]

You guys are killin me with all the old guy jokes.

[HunterHawk]

you have problems.... quit consuming alcohol when you are sick and go get the gatorade and water... maybe even some green tea... you hav eto make sure you are gtg by turkey season.... turns out i didnt get all the time slots off work i thought i was getting may 5th -morning hunt, may6th- morning hunt, may 7th- all day, and may 8th- all day.... then thats it for mornings (which are my favorite)....then i get out at 3 on friday and 330 saturday and I think i will be able to hunt the last morning (The 11th) sunday... so we will see...

just keeping everyone updated.....

jeremy, outdoor junkie and Blittle913
go get some birds......

im up right now and dont even get to go turkey hunting... thats depressing.....

[casscityalum]

you have problems.... quit consuming alcohol when you are sick and go get the gatorade and water...

Didnt even touch any last night, I was DD..Much cheaper and easier that way...So i think I just have problems..haha come you dont see the resemblance at all?

Like Hawk said lets get some birds down!

[HunterHawk]

team military time :).....

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

team military time :).....

What are you talking about? :confused: I thought you just said that Cass had issues. What are you drinking today?

Well boys had work to do today and didnt get a chance to get out. Will be out in the morning, hope to get a bird but I have a good feeling about my back up spot I got yesterday.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

i was just still laughing at your dads post because he was usuing military time..i obviously use military time too... but not for hunting reports :)

went out with my dad lastnight in that hurricane.... first thing we called in was a dang coyote.... then a hen, then 2 deer... and we were like ok shooting time ends at 8 or so so we will pack up at 7:30pm.... well it was about 7:25... or 1925.... if that makes it easier....and my dad was like screw it we havent had one answer (Not that we could have heard it anyway) and i had places to be around 9... so i get out of the blind and glass the field behind us and sure enough a tom and 3 hens around 70 yards away and feeding into the woods..... so we go to get back in the blind and i turn around and here is a jake and not sure what the other one was standing only about 50 yards away :lol:... blew that one

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

That was my post about my dads bird.:dizzy: But I see what you mean, it is just easier and cooler than saying am and pm. :lol: Was a little bummed this morning when I got up (late because of my alarm clock) and it was raining like a SOB and blowing like a hurricane and decided that it was pointless to get up. Well now the weather has broke so I am getting ready to head out. Wish me luck.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

eh good luck.... hope you get one.... weather is going to turn of the worst in the next few days and that stinks!!!... they might show up better on the snow though:lol:

[outdoor junkie]

Good luck out there Pse. Someone needs to connect on one. I've had a few chances to take nice toms so far, but I've passed them up. Only because I have a smokey grey tom in my area I've seen from a distance so far this season. Nrver knew he was around, just haven't been able to close the distance on him yet, but I'm getting closer.I've had close encounters with some nice toms in the past few days, and one of my dekes paid for one of them with his life.:eek: Going to focus on the smokey until the last few minutes of season. Good luck boys.

[casscityalum]

Good to hear. Keep up the good work there guys!

[HunterHawk]

good luck outdoor junkie.... dont wait too long :lol:.... watch the weather closely.... i think its about to turn poopy... but i cant say i blame you either.... hope you seal the deal with that smokey....

for the record we are getting our jeremys handed to us right now by team 20:lol:.... as far as the scoreboard says anyway... and some how we have 60 points even though the bird only scored 55 but :shhh:shhhhhhh haha... im guessing it was just because it got changed.....

even if we dont all get birds i hope we at least get opportunities!!!

i just checked the weather and from this morning to now it changed a ton... and for the better... woo hooo... im done checking it now haha... i cant trust spring weather forecasts

[HunterHawk]

looks like me and cass might go do some scouting when i get out of work at 330

[casscityalum]

counting on it!

[casscityalum]

Well Hawk Im slowly catching ya!

[HunterHawk]

hahaha.... please...you have much more learning to do young grasshopper... come under my wing today and ill show you the way..... oh by the way i have to go to christinas real quick after work.... just real quick.... then we have to do something for my dad and then we can go scout a bit... i kinda want to see if i can get permission from this one dude...if we can it is a place for me to take you...

[casscityalum]

..... oh by the way i have to go to christinas real quick after work.... just real quick....

hahaha ok bud do what gotta do, Take your time if you need to but I doubt that:evilsmile....:hide:

ok seriously no prob ill be waitin and watching!! Ill be watching the WINGS kick some CO Ave's Butt!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well boys, I guess I am going to have change teams, because today I shot a limb hanger. With the weather we are supposed to be getting next week and stuff I decided to go out this afternoon with my shotgun. We walked to the field my dad shot his turkey in.

1315- We walk to the field to set up and call, on the way we see three hens about 175-225 yards away, with the wind (I am guessing this is why) they dont run, just slowly walk away. We decide to get under a tree in the hedge row and sit for a minute and see where they move to and see what happens.

1320- I look to the west and see nothing but a red head peeking over the crest. I say to my dad there is a tom right there. We both start calling a little to try and get him to move our way. Then I hear my dad say there are two. Then I see there are three. They start to come our way. At first all three then just the big tom. (There were two jakes, and one tom) He starts heading toward us. He moves slowly, but he is moving, didnt stop to many times just once, then the second time wasnt his choice.:evilsmile He stopped for a minute at about 70 yards, I give him a soft cluck and he steps slowly toward us. He stops again at 60 yards and starts to turn, I decided to shoot. He drops dead in his tracks.

Not a long hunt, but exciting none the less.

Here are the pictures of my 22lb, 11 inch limb hanger.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

i didnt get to read the report because we were heading out to scout.... 60 yards :yikes:... thats a poke.... congrats man... thats a dandy for sure!!!!!!

we scouted out the places i will probably hunting and saw some real nice toms.... 3 long beards and a couple jakes.... i think anyway... hope i didnt miss any.... cass you can fill in if i did

then i showed Dan some spots where he might be able to hunt and we found a long beard and a jake or two over there too.... so im calling it a successful turkey scout...

i tried to ask permission on some land where i saw the smokeys but the guy was out working up his field.... he did say some cop was huntnig it right now so hopefully i will be able to hunt it after he is done.... i guess time will tell... i have his phone number now so that is good... ill catch up with him before season for sure.....

yeah i just notcied your signature.... i know i ended up talking to her more than my g/f.... lukily my g/f knows i have been friends with here since elementary because she isnt to hard on the eyes eh:lol:.... she has nice big soft fluffy eyes.......

i tried introducing you to those other girls but noooooo you went straight to the guys bathroom to look around.....

yeah i should be good to go in the morning...

wonder what time we have to get out there.... im going to post and see what time everyone has been hearing their first gobble... i kind of just want to go around and listen to them gobble.... might take my foxpro out and do some coyote howls and see if they gobble back... thats what they did early this spring... not sure if i have any crow calls in my truck.... hopefully they are just gobbling... but we will see.... and i also hope we can get a hold of James....

team captain haha... what a dreamer..... obviously the old guy should be the leader... he has all these years on us...

[casscityalum]

Hey I didnt think she was too bad..but by the way I did not got to the guys bathroom to look around..i was simply at the bar getting another drink then back the table....man those eyes were pretty big and soft last night..lol

Id say be out there before daylight..might be a start..and yea im lookin for my crow call and if anything i have a killer mouth call i can do....so yea post and see what you get back..

I quit dreamin, i backed down to assistant team captain..ill let the old guy take the lead. Hes got what 30 years on me? You figure out how to get him back yet?

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Outdoorjunkie,

[TheWidowmaker]

[HunterHawk]

[casscityalum]

[outdoor junkie]

-Psebuckmaster17-

Not so good last evevning. Never saw Mr. Gray. Saw three nice toms about 200 yards out, but would not make their way to me. Went out this morning and all I saw was a pair of pit bulls. Have know I dea where they came from, never saw them before. I think they had plans on getting my decoy before I jumped out at them and made them shat themselves and off they ran. Gonna head back out in about 30 minutes to set up in a new spot that hasn't been touched yet, know there are some nice birds in that spot. Tired of chasing mr gray, he has me all kinds of flustered, looks like round 1 goes to him. Hopefully he lives on through the season, and I'll stick an arrow in him this fall. Good luck boys.:)

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well boys we are in second place. We are only 5 points behind the leaders (Team #10 The Snood Dudes) so we need to get another bird on the board. Lets keep up the good work and show them why we are Team #1....:coolgleam

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

as long as we are beating team #2:coolgleam

You know that only happened because your team mate, casscity was razzing our secret weapon, Mr. QDMAMAN Big T this morning on our thread! The poor guy has his life crumbling before his eyes, mother in intensive care, grandmother who is 93 fell. Hopefully, he can snap out of it and come through with a triple bearded, massive spur toting hog!

He, along with two other double bearded bird shooters are starting up next week.

Well hopefully you guys can get a few more points on the board.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[koz bow]

We are going to need more than just a couple more points.

We need some 55 plus point birds next week like you pulled off this week! Congrats on those great birds.

[casscityalum]

I see you made your way onto my teams thread eh:evilsmile I know Big T will pull it together and the only reason we are in 2 place is because you guys have 3 birds to our 2......And think me and hawk havent even started our hunt yet:coolgleam

Anyways boys, I got a turkey pretty much all figured out...If hes still there Sunday Im givin the call and will be on him Monday. Haven't gotten a good look at his spurs yet but beard and size to me indicate at least a 45-55 point bird.....So hopefully hawk connects and we'll all be good....COME ONE OUTDOOR JUNKIE and Blittle!!!

[Ack]

Alright guys...I'm just curious about how this bird scores. I see a....

11" beard=20

1 1/4" spur=15

1 1/4" spur=15
-------------------
Total = 50

Just curious where the other 5 points comes from that you guys have on the scoreboard????

SPURS
3/4" or less 5 POINTS
13/16’’ – 1’’ 10 POINTS
1 1/16’’-1 ¼’’ 15 POINTS
Bigger than 1 1/4’’ 20 POINTS


http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/546/Forum21.jpg

11 inch beard.

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/546/Forum3.jpg

Here is a close up.

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/546/Forum4.jpg

Long and thick.

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/546/forum41.jpg

1 1/4 Inch spurs + a shot of the tag.

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/546/Forum12.jpg

Other spur 1 1/4 inches also.

[koz bow]

Shhhhhh.....we are supposed to bring those math things up at the end.

It is all about the picture angle and where you hold the ruler that gets the extras.

I am staying out of this one and going back to my own thread. It is all for fun anyway. See ya!

Ack,

If you check the picture/score thread my dad posted a new post and points thing on there. I first put 1 1/4 for 20 because I made a mistake on the points. I forgot that I changed it to bigger than 1 1/4 at first I was going to put 1 1/4 or bigger for 20 points. So I just put 1 1/4 because even though the one was bigger it didnt get anymore points. But I was wrong and my dad corrected it the next day. Check the points/score thread and you will get what I am talking about.

After reviewing the pics today here are the stats I am claiming:

Team #1- Just passin' Thru
Smoknngunn

Spur #1- 1 3/16
Spur #2- 1 5/16
Beard- 11 3/8
Total score= 55 points

12ga Mossberg 9200
Winchester Xtended 3"
Undertaker choke
Time shot- 1945
Date- 4/23/08
Weight- 26.5lbs.


Jeremy has already posted the tape measure pics. One of the spurs is less than 1 1/4 as he posted, so it will be 15, not 20 points.

Hope this clears things up and there is no problems.

Good luck hunting.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

is there cheaters on my team?




(hehe j/k.... good work boys... looks like you are going to have to sneak one by better than that :idea:)

[HunterHawk]

can i shoot a turkey yet? im getting anxious!!!! :tdo12:

Not a problem...I just see 1 1/4" in both of those photos...that is the whole reason for posting the pics, right? Either way, Tomfoolery is still going to whoop on you guys...oh look, only two more birds to turn in! :evil:
Good luck guys!

[casscityalum]

i see an 1 5/16" on the last picture if you look hard....owell.....hmmmm Hawk no shooting yet...only 5 days left!!!!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

It was just a couple hairs over 1 1/4 inches. Its not that big of a deal to me if its not to anyone else. If we are going to start getting super picky then we might just as well stop now. Its not for anything except fun, I dont see why anyone would cheat. Lets not start fighting over something as little as 5 points, that is what everyone that didnt want this contest to happen is praying for. Then they wont have to see us have another one next year. If we were trying to pull one over on someone then would not of made a new post with a correction the next morning. We would of just left it at 60 points as first stated until someone said something. Or until no one saw it and we had an extra 5 points that we didnt really have coming to us.

Good luck hunting guys.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[bigmike]

I know these guys very well and I can say to everyone they are not cheating! Lets not go down that road because it would stink if it got out of hand and the contest gets shut down:dizzy: Have fun with it and I hope EVERYONE gets a bird and has a super fun, safe time doing it!;)

[HunterHawk]

sooooooo i hope someone is getting some birds out there somewhere.. i just saw a few out in the fields so i know there is still a couple birds out there somewhere to be had...

good luck Outdoor junkie and Blittle...

im thinking you should change your name to tiny jeremey... istead of pse... just a suggestion...

This coming from a guy that might weigh 110 dripping wet.:rolleyes: Not a chance, little guy.

In fact Hawk is so small he has to have his girlfriend at his side everyday so he dont get beat up. Dont let him fool you.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[TheWidowmaker]

Leave it up to the goober and his dad to be the first to get called on cheating.

How funny is that! LMAO

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Leave it to you to stir the pot you tool....:rant:

You are just mad because I posted a picture of you as Hunterhawks girlfriend.. :lol:

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

haha Jeremy get over here and take these last finals for me... you need something to do!!!

my dad connected with a nice long beard this morning... i wasnt there to whiteness it but he said it has a 9 and 3/4 in beard and inch spurs.. his biggest to date and he got it with his REVURVE!!!!! so congrats to my dad... that was the 1st morning he had hunted back there and it came from right behind my house.. so im pretty pumped for him... he was talking about not having much money to get a mount done on it but i think im going to get it for him for fathers day!...

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Congrats to you dad. I am taking my mom out in the morning to see if she can bag a bird behind the house. We are going to set up in the same spot my dad and I shot our birds. I heard two gobbling back there about an hour ago, so things are looking good.

Man, when is your last final anyways? I cant wait until you are done, then I wont have to hear about it anymore..:lol:

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

hahaha.... tomorrow at 9pm i will be done... deal with it boy!!!!

yeah good point... i wonder what i will talk about when im done... probably my deadliest catch video im going to make "the quest for the crawfish".... its going to be great :lol:.... but first its "The Hunt for the Tom that makes team #2's turkeys look like poults" :lol:... should be some great videos..... then after those its the "Adventure of the Algae eating Carp" ..... dang those are going to be some great vidoes

[casscityalum]

haha hawk man those are some good video's...i supply the funds and you do all the filming and we'll be rich and famous! Cant't wait to put team 2 in their place! haha so I will keep scouting on my time off.

[casscityalum]

This coming from a guy that might weigh 110 dripping wet.:rolleyes: Not a chance, little guy.

Beautiful.......

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Hawk,

Good luck with that. Good luck with your finals. You only have a few days and you can start filming you turkey hunt. Get us back in the lead.

Blittle,

Where are you at? Whats going on with your hunt?

Outdoorjunkie,

How is hunting that ghost turkey going?

Cass,

Good luck hunting monday morning.

Smoknn,

We have to get mom a bird in the morning.

Well that about covers my team.

Oh, I forgot something. Hawk you tell me I have too much time on my hands but everytime I get on here you are on. Whats up with that? Maybe we both have too much time on our hands. But, I dont want any dancing lessons from Cass, Dan, and you.:lol:

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

good thing our team symbol is bow sites on the turkey :dizzy:... hehe just kidding... had to give ya some crap because you have been giving it out:D

[casscityalum]

Lol too funny, hey what about me and my exams? You forget me and Hawk are going the same school????? lol Im done thursday!!!

Monday can't get here fast enough. Hawk what are we doing about that anyways? You got room for me to tag along in the morning? Well anyways I hope to have that ol long beard pegged out.

I going home Thursday to get my bow and trailer..I might need some help moving furniture if your free hawk...Can't waiT!!

PSe- You can't afford my going rate for dance lessons. Come back to me in 10 years once you have the money saved up and we'll go from there....

[HunterHawk]

hey Dan why dont you take one for the team and maybe come video me in the morning... the key word here is SOMEWHERE... im not sure where i want to go in the morning :(..... my hunt is only a week long:(... if you want to go out and do your own thing and hunt though that is fine but since i am kinda pressured with only a week i want to take full advantage of it and go out in the morning... then i have to work in the morning... so if you want to take Dan up on it go for it because my dad will be more than happy to come video for me... as far as helping you move out... no problem just let me know...

im starting to think it might be better to hunt your long beard in the afternoon that way we could set up on him coming back into the roost... you know what i mean.... he wouldnt see you if you came in that back way plus it would be on the land you have permission to hunt.... just an idea:idea:

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Thats fine, one in the oven is better than one in the tree.:D

Cass,

Good luck with your finals. I guess since you dont cry about papers and finals like Hawk, I must of forgot.:evilsmile

Good luck hunting Monday boys, we need some more points.

-Psebuckmaster17-

Hey sounds good to me. I have a month and not that afraid of not getting a bird. Anything to help us beat that team #2..So yea that will work. I like the idea of going after that bird in the evening better....

[casscityalum]

lol yea finals aren't that big of deal to me. Im doing well in all my classes and would rather be hunting or scouting so thats why i dont complain like sissy boy...Congrats again to both you and your dad!

[HunterHawk]

ok cass since you dont really care about finals and i dont really care about them either... lets wake up and go scouting in the morning :)... come on boy.... walk the talk.... walk the talk

[dsconnell]

I never heard back on my offer..

[HunterHawk]

my hunt starts monday but i am thinking i might go out to some state land thats by my parents house... or i might go out to my grandmas... not really sure yet... my hunt is only a week long and dans is a month long so i was just going to have my dad or dan video me.. but i appreciate the offer

[dsconnell]

Your saying that I am not good enough to hunt with you? :confused:

[dsconnell]

Both you and Cass hunt me video tape..

[casscityalum]

ALright you call me and ill get up......what time? Im going out for a bit, wont be leaving till 10 so ill check back

So what is the offer??????????????

[HunterHawk]

yeah i could have swore i pmed you back about that... i would love to have you come along on with us but dans hunt is only for private land and there is a good chance i am going to be hunting state land....

so i may be the only one hunting opening morning.. but if you want to bring the GL1 and get it on video i promise not to miss:lol:... that ought to insure a miss for sure... you will even get to experience how awesome double bull blinds are

you are going out tonight... you suck... im going to be staying at my parents house tonight... you going to be able to wake up? maybe set your alarm for 525... it will be good practice that way for waking up early....

text me... im about to go get my neck adjusted by my bro and pick up my archers flame nocks from my uncle... thats why i am about to just go stay in mason tonight

[steve1983]

wow you actually use a good blind!!

[casscityalum]

get outta here steve...no one likes you around.....hahahaha....cant wait bro

[steve1983]

get outta here steve...no one likes you around.....hahahaha....cant wait bro

you dont like me because you fear me!!!:lol: we will win dont worry!!!

[casscityalum]

oh boy better put on my waders this chit is getting deep!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

you dont like me because you fear me!!!:lol: we will win dont worry!!!


Why worry about someone who is not even on the board? :lol:

From the sounds of things we have to worry about team #10. They are looking at a 80-90 point bird.:16suspect I think that someone might have a string around its foot.:D

Good luck everyone with your hunts starting next week.

Hope to hear some good stories and see some cool pictures.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[casscityalum]

Went scouting today with ol Hawkers and had a few gobbles located..But wow did we see some large groups hanging out...havent seen groups like that in a long time...Then I went and checked out my one spot and see 5 hens but no bearded guys...hope he didnt get shot cause I know one other person might be out there...

But wow Im tired..not going to close down any more bars soon and get up at 5...2 hours of sleep...Oh I hate how bright its getting so early..means I have to go to bed earlier..haha well later going to my last exam in about an hour!!:)

[HunterHawk]

that looks like the one i have been scouting :coolgleam... only i think the rope is a little thicker:lol:... crazy thing is for some reason he is always in the same exact spot!!!... so i should have him patterned for opening morning

[outdoor junkie]

Well it's down to the wire. Again. I only have this weekend left to bag my bird. Did it this way last year too, shot my bird on the last evening. No more being so selective, gonna pop one this weekend. Haven't seen mr. gray in a week, so I have given up on him. Good luck out there on Monday boys. Go get em.:)

[HunterHawk]

good luck to you also outdoorjunkie!!!... watch that smokey will probably come in:lol:.... a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush....

[HunterHawk]

WOOOOO HOOOOOO... no more having to listen to me cry about anything.... im fixing my arrows up here in a little bit... im putting archery flame nocks on my arrows.... i only have one for turkeys though.... so i hope i dont miss... the others are going for bear and for deer... those were the last 4 nocks they had for my type of arrows (aluminum) so if i want to shoot his nocks i have to get new arrows... kinda sucks but ill try to make due with what i got

[outdoor junkie]

Two days left, gonna hit it hard bright and early tomorrow, and I aint coming home till dark(unless I tag one before) whether it's storming or not. Good luck boys. Go get em Hawk and Cass.

[koz bow]

Two days left, gonna hit it hard bright and early tomorrow, and I aint coming home till dark(unless I tag one before) whether it's storming or not.

Now that there is dedication. If there is a sportsmanship award, you should be handing it out here. Kind of like Lassie. (sorry, he might of been a little before your time)

Go Lassie Go!

I wish we had that type of dedication on our team, or at least someone that would show up on the "deans list" once in a while.

[HunterHawk]

HAHA i like Koz..... Koz will you be my new best friend?

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

HAHA i like Koz..... Koz will you be my new best friend?

Hawk,

Do you even have a best friend?:lol:

Outdoorjunkie,

Good luck hope you bag a big one. With dedication like that you deserve that ghost turkey.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

pretty much anyone who hunts and likes the outdoors is my best friend:lol:

well tomorrow morning is the morning and i still have NO CLUE WHERE IM GOING!!!!!!.... sweet huh haha...i guess my uncle is going to video me because my dad has to work... and i believe Dan is going out to his lease....

My dad is on a roll!! this morning he got two kids their first birds... they were both brothers.... the one that was 12 shot his with his bow and was a monster bird i guess and the one that was 14 shot his with a gun and the beard wasnt as big... haha nothing like getting outdone by your little brother.... i think next year i would be out for revenge.... as of now im pretty jealous of these guys.... hope my dad can make some time for me if i cant get them in for some reason.... where to go.... where to go...

on a property that my uncle hunts next to they saw a tom with HOOKED spurs, said it is huge... i might be able to get on that land but if not my uncle said we could call from his place.... so that is an option.... we will see i guess....

hopefully we can add some points.... i know the weather isnt looking so hot either after monday so i hope things come together in the morning:(

wish me luck

[outdoor junkie]

Well boys, sorry I let ya down. First year in four I haven't bagged a turkey. Had multiple easy shots with a shotgun, just couldn't put that bow away, really wanted to arrow one. Wife says I'm just hard headed.:rolleyes: Hunted from sun up to sun down Saturday, thought for a few hours there I was gonna get sucked up in a tornado, man it got wicked windy out there. Called in two 10"+ birds yesterday but both hung up at about 40 yards, and I don't feel comftorable enough to make that shot. Also called in a yote to about 10 yards yesterday afternoon, he just stood there looking around for about 2 minutes trying to figure out where the hen was. Didn't get out today, the boss(wife) said I couldn't because we had family obligations. No bird but it was a great season non the less. Hopefully mr. gray is around in the fall. Good luck to the boys just starting there hunt, go get em. Sorry again boys, although I'm sure you don't really care, as don't I that I didn't tag out. Just a blessing to be out there. To my teamates that got birds, congrats again.:)

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well I know you wont be on my team again.:lol:

Just kidding Outdoorjunkie. Not a big deal, that just puts the pressure on Hawk and Cass to shoot some big point birds. Its all about having fun and doing what you love to do. Congrats on calling in some good birds and sticking to it. Hopefully you get that arrow thru one soon.

Hawk and Cass,

Good luck in the morning.

Blittle,

Are you still around?

If your hunting tomorrow good luck to you too.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

outdoorjunkie.... no worries i am not dissapointed at all, i loved hearing your battle to get that smokey grey.... the ones you dont get are a lot of times the ones you remember the most... at least thats how i have always done it.....Im glad to hear you stuck with the bow... sounds like you are a little more hard headed than some other guys i know:whistle:... hehe just messin with ya guys....

it could very well happen to me outdoor junkie because i am not going to out the bow down... if i dont get one at least i tried real hard...

im going to hunt the bird with the hooks in the morning (my uncles land) so hopefully we at least see a bird if we get one even better... ill keep ya posted and i will work all day tomorrow from 3-10 so i will be on the boards.... man i gotta get up early so i should probably get off of here

pse and smokn.... when i was driving home today i look in front of a woods i trap and there was a huge coon that just got hit in the road and i got all sad then when i was glassing tonight behind my house i saw two MONSTERS:coolgleam..... come on fall

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well boys we are in 5th place. We need some points so Hawk and Cass the pressure is really on now.

Good luck boys.

-Psebuckmaster17-

pressure?.... what pressure? :)

HE SHOOTS............................................ .........................................







...........................................HE SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:woohoo1:

[koz bow]

HE SHOOTS............................................ .........................................







...........................................HE SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:woohoo1:an d............so what is it? Congrats on the bow kill!

Well Big-T did not get the "atey pointer" for the snoods, but he did manage to move us up on the ranks again with two more hunters starting later this week.

[HunterHawk]

Well this morning was an interesting morning to say the least. Last night my uncle went out to a piece of property he leases and said he saw 4 hens and could hear Toms lighting up like crazy in the woods and to our knowledge they hadnt been hunted, and the landowner right next to him said they had seen a monster and had heard tons of toms gobbling all over in the 1st season, so i made up my mind that is where my 1st set up would be of my week long season (ZE Private or Public)

Things started out a bit shaky at first, I stayed at my parents house because it is a stones throw away from the piece of property i would be hunting and my mom comes in my room at 440 and says hey i thought you wanted to get up at 430, i look at the alarm clock and it said pm instead of am..... not sure how the heck that happend... the alarm was set for am so i am guessing my mom set the clock... But what a mom.... i still havent asked her what the heck she was doing up but i am glad she was because i doubt i would have woke up.. so i was running around to get ready (lucky i got most of it around last night and i get down stairs and i try to call my uncle..... Straight to the voicemail... so im thinking crap he isnt up either, well i wasnt going to waste my hunt and we agreed on meeting at my house at 5 so i waited till 5 and started loading my truck....5:05 i tried calling again and no answer so i pulled out and got 20 yards down the road when i see a truck coming... its my uncle... his phone died the night before when i was talking to him and he didnt turn it back on... rookies :lol:

The Hunt

We still got there in plenty of time because like i said it was on the other side of the block (that was the stones throw, i got one heck of an arm), so we start the long walk back to where we are going to hunt, we have the pretty boy and pretty girl decoy bag filled with a couple extra secret wepon decoys, two chairs, my bow, the camera and the worth every penny double bull blind.... on the way to where we were heading me and my uncle kept arguing over where to set up, he wanted to keep going in towards the swamp and i wanted to set up more towards the field, well im not sure who won that battle or who was right or wrong because I ended up getting the turkey, but anyway turns out we were way to close to the roost... for me anyway... i would say we were between 70-80 yards maybe a little further from the roost and when the flew down sure enough they flew the other way towards the field! I WIN..... we sat there for what seemed like for ever and saw 1 hen and the Toms stopped gobbling completely once they hit the ground, I'm thinking oh no just like what everyone was saying on line...

Oh well I was out hunting... good enough and had heard what sounded like 1000 toms in the morning, it was awesome they were all around us gobbling.... I live for that sound!!!

So we saw one hen and heard a few other hens and no gobbles from probably 7 to probably 10 o clock... talk about depressing!!

I was doing my usual stick my head as close to the entrance of the blind as possible and look as far as i could to one side or the other and i see a huge REALLY PRETTY light brown fan all fanned out.... couldn't even see the turkeys body just the fan... but it was a welcome sight after not seeing anything for 3 hours... he was about 150 yards away or so when i saw him and for a while when i was calling he was on a string coming right in, i got all excited only to have him hold up at around 50 yards!!!

I have never had a turkey hold up like this, he must have been there for close to 20 minutes strutting and putting he would go one way that looked like he was coming in then he would turn right around and go back the other, i have never been so frustrated in all my life, I told my uncle i didnt want to shoot anything under an 8 inch beard, and i knew this turkey was close to my cut off mark but it turned into more of a challenge than anything at that point....

usually when they are strutting and putting back and forth they are within 20 yards or so and usually a quick arrow comes right after.

Anyway he finally got bored or nervous (my guess is he didnt feel like fighting the pretty boy and the hen wouldnt come so he was going to go find some more ladies) Either way he made a big mistake, instead of turning around and going the way he came he tried to just go far enough away so he was kind of going away from us but at the same time he was getting closer only because he had to go around some water, We werent sure the yardage my uncle said around 30 yards or so i guessed it at about that far or a little farther so i decided to hold about his head i figured because i only have one pin, the turkey was now on a quick trot trying to get out of there before pretty boy came over and chased him, I drew back and gave a couple clucks and he hesitated for a spit second he didnt even stop and WACK my spitfire hit PERFECT, i also had on the archer flame nocks and although it was bright out once it got to the turkey i could tell it was a perfect shot.... and like i said before there are certain times you get out of the blind and run to the turkey and other times you clearly dont have to, well like i said this turkey turned out to more of a challenge and even though i dropped him in his tracks i nocked another arrow and took off but he was down and not moving by the time i ran the 35-37 YARDS!!!! i paced it twice, once on the way back from the bird and once on the way to where the blood and feathers were... 35 the first time and i believe the 37 was actually more accurate... either way an amazing hunt even though it wasnt the biggest bird i have ever shot it was defiently the most challenging and i prevailed!!..

My uncle read this and just called me i forgot to mention, after i shot and flipped up the blind i looked at there was at least 8 birds with beards, i saw a couple long beards but most were jakes... i cant believe i forgot to add that and a couple jakes got some kicks in even after i lifted up the blind, pretty funny yet frustrating at the same time... where were all these birds between 7 and 3 haha

It had a 9 inch beard and i believe both spurs were 1/16th of an inch short of an inch :dizzy:... darn bird... i could have bent the tape measure and made it look like it was more:lol: but i gave the bird what he deserved!

**** Also part of my birds beard was froze off, this is like the 3rd beard that our group has got that the beards were froze off, dang cold snowy winter!!!!

I dont have the pictures of this bird i had to get it cleaned asap because of the heat but dont worry i had my uncle take a few pics on his camera and Dan (casscityalum) was nice enough to drive from Howell after his hunt to my house in mason and took the pics of my turkey for this contest... so the pics are to come after dans hunt.

if you read this whole thing that is awesome and i had a blast hunting... not writing this though :lol: sorry it was so long guess im still in writing mode and no i did not edit this

[koz bow]

That is an awesome story! I felt like I was sitting there watching the whole thing unfold. What a great hunt.

Sounds like you made one heck of a shot on him as well. Congratulations on a very, very successful morning.

I would love to hunt turkey with a bow. At the yards and opportunities I have had the last few years, the shots are not an issue. I CANNOT, for the life of me, see myself sitting in a blind during turkey season, waiting for a bird to come to me.

You bow guys have way more patience than I have. However, come the 1st of November, I can sit in a tree all day and be totally content.

Congratulations on the bird and thanks for sharing the story! Koz

Craig..

In case noone told you... 10 page papers are for school not for M-S:lol:

Just Kidding.. Havent had a chance to read it but I will after the the game or tomorrow but I see you got one!

Congrats!!

[HunterHawk]

Haha here is a post for a 4th grade reading level (dsconnell) :lol:

saw a turkey, shot the turkey, turkey died, tagged turkey, im done, 9 inch beard, just under an inch spurs :lol:... better?

Thanks for the complement Koz, and that is the longest i think i have ever had to wait for a turkey, thats what made this an awesome hunt, that and one amazing shot... my uncle is the one who sold me that bow quiet a few years back and i asked him today if he thought that was a good idea haha... i have gotten 4 turkeys, 7 deer with it in the last like 6 years... me + spitfires + darton = scary combination:coolgleam

Ill post this on the main turkey forum once i get the pictures upload and the Video.. the video wasnt horrible considered he had to video this turkey on a quick jog through the woods... could have been zoomed out a little farther so you could see how far of a shot it was and center it a bit more... but we dont claim to be professionals...we just wish we could hunt for a living

[dsconnell]

Perfect!! Now I dont have to sit there and read all that!









I am sure I still will though!:lol:

[outdoor junkie]

Congrats Hawk, sure made that seem easy.:rolleyes: Tells me about my turkey hunting skills.:confused: Congrats to you though, sounds like a great hunt. C'mon Cass, your turn.

[HunterHawk]

naaaahhhh you were just more picky than i was... i was going to be more picky but when i looked at the weather forecast and i saw rain for the next few days i said screw it... and like i said he was a challenging bird... i just couldnt let him win :evilsmile.... yeah i just checked the weather for my area again tuesday 30% chance, my days off wed and thursday 60% and 70%... and then i had to work friday, saturday and sunday and my hunt was only a week long.... so you have to take what you can get sometimes:D not saying this wasnt a great bird or anything though, im doing something with the fan spurs and beard, just not sure what yet!

i cant wait to watch the hunt again on the big screen instead of a little camera screen

[00Buckshot69]

Hawk,
Great story like Koz said I was right there with ya. That was a he**of a shot. I'm dead on with my bow to 30 but out past 30 yards I wont shoot. It's 50/50 that range for me. I'm out with Horseshoe tomorrow after work to find my bird. Then I'm off work Friday so I will be in the big buck woods chasing feathers!!!
Thank for sharing your hunting story. I'm fired up now!!!!!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Congrats Hawk...

I think that 40 Points puts us at 150...

That will give us a tie for 1st place.:coolgleam

-Psebuckmaster17-

[casscityalum]

hey Pics are up in the main turkey forum!!!

oh no luck for me today, I only hunted till past 11, Saw 1 tom, and then a few jakes before I then headed MSU to pack my trailer and move out of my apartment. Made it to my farm late and bumbed the birds out of the field through the help of the dang deer!!! might hit the woods tomorrow, but way I look at it, I do have a month!

[koz bow]

Congrats Hawk...

-Psebuckmaster17-


(the sound of me clearing my throat):D

Excuse me fellas on Team #1.

As soon as Big T can afford some batteries for his camera, you need to add another 40 points or more to the Snood Dudes score.

Yes, it took us 4 birds to get there....but none the less, we are at 155 points with still two more hunters that haven't started yet.

See you in East Lansing on June 6th, BYOTG (Bring Your Own Tear Gas)!:evilsmile

Ohhhh....team Limbhangers just posted another bird, so that put them in the lead with 165 points I believe.

[HunterHawk]

june 6th? whats june 6th?

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Well hopefully Blittle and Cass can give us the lead and keep us there.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[bigmike]

good job hawk;)

[bigmike]

With everyone's pics we should be tied for 1rst with 155 points!:):) Bob will get his pic of that spur and that would give us scores of 25, 30, 50, 30, 20!;) Not bad

[koz bow]

june 6th? whats june 6th?

The contest will run from April 21st -June 5th, 2008. The winners will be announced after June 6th ,

This is the day that Jeremy will be announcing team snood dudes (the dysfunctional team that has not clue about anything related to turkey hunting) the winner!

Ever since Cass snuck into our thread and ragged on Big T - I just hope we keep ahead of you. I don't really care about the rest of the scores!

[casscityalum]

Man team 2 wants to beat us, Kozy Moto wants to beat us..All because I went over and gave Big T a warm welcome and good luck......???

Koz, Team Red Neck has a stacked team. I know they personaly have gotten 3 birds all around 10" and nice spurs. Their other two members-One doesnt shoot anything less than 9" basically and other has already gotten 3 birds this year between SD and MO.....heard he's also a calling champ....

So yes me and blittle have our work hard faught for us. I luckly have a month and friend that will help if it need be. Also like you said I bet Big T would help me get the bird if I needed him badly enough....Good luck guys!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

1st place is 165
2nd place is 150
3rd place is 120 (Team Lazy D)

You could still get 2nd.

This was your big warm welcome!


hey big T hows it going?? You know your not going to win this right:evil::lol::lol::coolgleam


For me it is not a "want" it is rather a "when".

[QDMAMAN]

Hey Cass, Isaac69 used me as a "last resort" last year and his bird tipped the scales at 26# with 1 3/8" spurs and a 9" beard. BTW, he booked me for 5/24 and 25.;)
Stats like that and you're still dissin me.:mad::dizzy::rant::D:lol:
This is just for fun right? Well it'll be fun beating you guys, rest assured if you "settle" for hunting with Big T, he won't be lining you up on a bird that will tip things in your teams favor.:p:lol::lol:

All else fails Cass just come back to my house toward the end of season and if that big one is still behind my house I will get permission from the neighbor and we will go kill him.. I am getting tired of him waking me up at dark 30 on the mornings I am not hunting!! He is starting to get on my nerves..

[casscityalum]

lol sure will, didnt get out today for work and catching up on the moving in things. Headed out in the mornin if its not raining...Seen some nice ones tonight behind the house. Well ill be back later

Cass - seems to me that folks from your town are getting a little friendly with those toms! Not sure where Chuck's hand is , but I am guessing that bird just does not pose like that on his own!:SHOCKED:

Laying out in the middle of the street in public as well... Geez, glad I do not raise my family in that town!

If you look you can clearly see that this bird is in the back of Chucks tailgate...Also the hand is easily just holding the head and you can see the clearly defined hand and head facing the camera....

on a side note..This is a tradition, take your bird/deer/fish and get the local Newspaper to get your picture and story!! Great town and Hunter friendly:D

Hmm I might just have to use you for my efforts not in the contest but for a bird...Lets make a deal Big T- If u get me a bird, I wont enter it in the contest....lol

[koz bow]

Cass -Based on what I have heard and read, you are sitting right smack dab in the middle of the best turkey country that exists in Michigan.

Even a "spartan" can shoot one there.

And I quote Great town and Hunter friendly:D You said it yourself.

And I read Cass City is a well balanced community with a strong industrial base and a viable business district, a good school system and many recreational facilities.

It is a prime area for the deer and bird hunter. Wild turkeys, pheasants, and partridge are plentiful.

And you are talking about going over to another team to get your bird???

[casscityalum]

True True...So hopefully wont be long!

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Cass,

You are not a very good team captain, leaving us to the wolves. We need that bird to get the lead, and we need Blittles to hold the lead.:coolgleam

So hopefully you get one this morning.

-Psebuckmaster17-

[casscityalum]

rained and rained here...then went to work, and got rained out and now its still raining..PSE no worries...Ill be at my farm all weekend and a friends so hopefully soon. Gotta make some money to drive around and hunt though! See you guys soon!

ps. Im the Assistant, not the actual captain

[koz bow]

I have got just one thing to say - YUMMY!

Date night with the wife tonight at the cabin. Her first turkey, morels, wine and well you know..........;) Does life really get any better.
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk17/kkozmins/turkeymorels2008.jpg

[HunterHawk]

well since im right here finishing my keg from saturday.... im going to have to say no it doesnt really get any better than that!.... looks good man... i need to find some morels asap!!!

made my g/f watch my turkey hunt tonight... all 100lbs of her says she wants to try it..... waited to long to get her a permit this year.... never tried grilling it, looks kinda good maybe ill do that with mine.... what did you marinade it in or didnt you?...

[koz bow]

Hawk - it is the best way to cook it. I use a stick of butter, (did not say it was low fat) 2 packages of Good Seasons Italian Dressing (the packets that you use to make the dressing sold in the salad dressing aisle) and about 4 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Cut into strips and take off as much membrane as you can to keep it from being chewy. Dip the pieces in the mixture once you have melted the butter and stirred it up, and put is on the grill on a low flame. The butter will drip and cause the grill to flame up, which is what you want. Keep turning the pieces over and move them around and once they feel firm, set them aside on low heat. Brush the left over mixture onto them and do not over cook. It is an easy and wonderful recipe from my grandmother.

Koz

[PsEbUcKmAsTeR17]

Cass,

Well now I see why you got demoted to ass. captain, you would rather work than hunt.:lol: I know what you mean with gas being 4 dollars a gallon I might have to take up a new hobby besides hunting and trapping.

Koz,

Sounds good. I think they would be good like that then turn the grill off and melt some mozzarella cheese on them. :corkysm55

Hawk,

What did she do wrong?:lol: Just kidding buddy.

My girlfriend will be joining me in to woods next spring too.

Good luck Cass

-Psebuckmaster17-

[HunterHawk]

hey pse so the word on the street is you have class or something crazy like that? dont you need to be studying for something :lol:.... how do you like it.... you bully

Koz- Thanks for the recipe!!! i have a decent grill at my place think i might give er a whirl
