but here is the real question muggs.....WHEN IS BQ GONNA PLAY???? I think Derek Anderson is a mediocre QB at best, he is inconsistent and will not be much help to us come the showdown @ Heinz field

the north is wide open with the first quarter of the season gone......i thought the steelers were a shoe in to take it but after that performance against the cards im not so sure. the browns and bengals have pretty ridiculous offenses if they can get their D on track they both have shots. Should be interesting

hey yall, sorry i havent been on in a while to check in. our season started saturday and i should be heading out sometime this week. got a place near my college that is pretty good. it just sux trying to squeeze in time to hunt with football, but hopefully i can help put some points on the board. also got our 100 acres in the heart of the best deer hunting in OH, coshocton county. i should at least be able to pull a doe out of there, and maybe the big boy that has been eluding me the past 2 seasons.

RDNKHNTR77 21 Early Sept. to early Feb.

thanx for the encouragement buckee, im strivin to get to moron status

well what the heck eric, we gotta get together one of these days for some golfin and fishin, even though we always say that and it never happens, but this time its for real!!! lol seriously though, ive never played @ lost nation and i would gladly come there for a round, then we can go to mentor headlands for some great perchin. we go out on the pier by the lighthouse and kill em right around this time

well folks, it took me 3 years(which most of you probably do in about 1) but i finally got to my 1000th post!!!! Ive learned alot, met some new friends, and shared some of the little knowledge that i have about the outdoors and its been fun. I would just like to thank the moderators who keep this forum up and running, it is a great thing you got goin here and i appreciate it alot. geez, im sittin here rambling like i just won an oscar or something....kinda sounding ridiculous.....should probably stop now.....ok im done

nice lookin bass there, im hopin to get out soon and find some hogs of my own

hey muggsy, where do u usually golf?? little mountain? ive been out twice this year and shot a 49 and a 48 at chardon lakes and hidden valley here in thompson. im lookin to buy some clubs too, i hear they have good used ones at play it again sports in mentor by old navy there.

im single and lovin it....just some advice for you fellas in high school dont go off to college with a girlfriend. college is too much fun to be tied up with a girl back home and you cant really get the full experience.

o yeah, those little guys can be pretty tough to see....ive gotten my share of "holy cow"s when deer and turkey hunting and bout stepping on one

we have a nature center at our school too, but i have never seen ne shds or much deer sign for that matter. but i have seen my favorite bird of all time there, the indigo bunting

thats awesome, hopefully u spooked a few of them to the other side of the road

heck of a bird there tom, i can honestly say i know how it feels, this season has been tough but it feels great to finally bag a nice bird. where did u land that big boy? danville?

nope, thats a geauga county bird tom, ill be headin down to coshocton this weekend to try and get #2

Well, after 3 weeks of heartache and stress, i finally got my bird. I had been hunting this bird all season, as he was easy find, gobbling every morning and letting my know where he was. Although he would gobble his head off, as soon as this bird hit the ground you wouldnt hear another peep out of him. So after a few morning i went to another property and bumped a bird i had hunted for a few days and was starting to get awfully disappointed. So, after the weekend i decided i would try again for my original big boy, but go in with a little different strategy. on the other mornings i had hunted him, i had tried every kind of hen noise one can make, soft yelps with some purrs, hard cutts and yelps, even tried using 2 calls to make it seem like 2 hens were fighting, to no availe. So this morning i thought i would just sit and wait for him to come to me, like deer hunting. so i set up about 80 yds from his roost sight and waited for light. sure enough, he started boomin right at first light and the hens soon followed. then, i see one, two, three hens heading my way and not far behind was the big boy in full strut. the hens came right at me, one of them i probably could have hit with my gun, but the big boy would not break strut and come. finally, after the hens had walked past, he started heading right for me and just as he came from behind a big maple, i threw 2 cutts at him, he lifted that big 'ol white head of his, and i let the 3" #5 Winchester Supremes do their work. Put him down at 30 steps. Unfortunately, he had had a tough winter and had some severe beard rot. Although he was a mature,double bearded gobbler, the 2 beards added up to 4". weighed in at 18.1 pounds with 7/8 inch spurs. although he wasnt the most impressive bird, i took great pride in him because of the hard work and effort it took to get him bagged.

well, u can chalk another one up for the team!!! i had been hunting this bird the past week and he always seemed to give me the slip, until monday morning at about 6:25. He was gobblin on the roost and had hens all around him and, since he hadnt been answering too many of my calls earlier in the week, i figured i would just sit and wait for those hens to bring him to me. sure enough, i watched him fly down and land about 60 yds away and he strutted for about 5 minutes and the hens started comin my way. one of them even walked about 5 yds from me. the gobbler followed shortly after and was dead at 30 steps. it was kind of disappointing walkin up to him because we had a tough winter hear and he had some severe beard rot. 2 beards that added up to 4 inches, but he was a mature 2 year old bird. weighed 18.1 pounds with 7/8 in. spurs.

chalk one up for team #24

i know how u guys feel.... i live in the HEART of the snowbelt and it has been snowin pretty bad here its colder now than it was on CHRISTMAS

so yesterday my buddy calls me and he goes "did u do some fishinw when u went down to florida for spring break?" "yeah" "did u catch something called an african pompano?" "yeah" well apparently that is a big deal cause i just picked up a copy of this month's woods and water magazine and there was a picture of u with that pompano!!!!! i couldnt believe it.... the captain of our charter said that it would prolly get some sort of attention but i had no idea....i ordered 10 copies of it to bring back up to Ohio..... i dont think my first time saltwater fishin coulda been ne better!!!!!

Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 im in the same boat buckslayer, they r just teazin me struttin in our back field laughin at me cause i cant go out there and get a crack at em.... april 23rd cant come soon enough

Re: How old were you when you killed your first turkey i was 14 when i shot my first bird, unfortunately my dad wasnt with me, i was by myself but we sure celebrated when i got back

well, its that time of year again the Sportsman's show is upon us and I cant wait to get up there and check things out. its a yearly tradition in our home to take the whole family up there and spend the day. there are tons of exhibits and shows that is entertaining for all ages. I always buy my turkey calls for the upcoming spring there too, they have some great show deals ne one else planning on headin up there???

Re: TURKEY TEAM #24 [ QUOTE ] I am using 3" remington #5s nitro turkey. The best thing is that they are about three bucks cheaper per box than the other brands. [/ QUOTE ] i usually use the 3" winchester supremes #6s might have to try those remingtons this year though since i am pretty pressed for $$
